ArmA 2 Demo - screen goes black randomly

Recommended Posts

I've been trying out the demo lately, and every time has ended with this problem. For no apparent reason, the screen goes to stand-by mode. The length of time before this happens varies and doesn't seem to be related to anything I'm doing in game.

My video card is a shiny new XFX ATI HD 4870 (I got it less than a week ago), with drivers off the XFX website.

Yikes! The temperature is 67° outside the game, with entries ingame at 89° - 90°. What the hell? This is a brand new card, why's it getting so hot? :/

I'll look in that thread you suggested, too.

It's probably an issue with your fans. Simply put - make sure they're working properly, lol.

Manually setting the fan to 100% keeps the temperature to around 80-85 and the game runs ok. Why it wasn't deciding to boost the fan itself is beyond me.
