Post subject:  Black Screen of death?

Yup I really don't know what happened here I was browsing the forums defragmenting my HDD when all of a sudden my computer stopped responding then a few seconds later the screen went black the power was still on and everything so I had to shut it off and restart windows I don't think it's a virus because I just reinstalled windows but I will do a virus scan just to be sure.

Anyone ever get a black screen of death instead of a blue screen?

It's happened to me a few times. I'm guessing it had to do with the video card.

Clean your vents, get speedfan, check your computer temps.

My favorite thing was that the program said it had more allocated memory than was existing. XD

I have a similar problem

about 50% of the time I log off, the screen just goes

That IS to do with the graphics card

Something like that used to happen to me. When I logged out, or the screensaver was activated, the screen just died with the message "so signal input" when I tried to get the comp working again. Fixed itself after a while though, it may actually have been when we replaced that buggy old graphic card that came with the comp (In fact it was from the Nvidia Nforce series - I think 6400+ - but it still bugged.)

I get a black screen of doom when playing full screen games, the game freezes for about half a second then the screen goes black and nothing happens for the remainder of the time I leave it on.
