Black screen problems Anonymous 2015-12-28 19:05:15 Post No. 18147 [Report]

Hey /wsr/ a friend of mine has been having some problems with his monitor and getting games to properly display and now his monitor is completely blank, even at start up. So I'm posting this for him.

"So I was fucking around trying to get this shitty LCD TV to work as a temporary monitor before I buy a new one to replace the one that broke. It was working fine for vidya, then it only started working for Rainbow Six Siege and Skyrim at 1920x1080. Every other game I tried to run at that resolution just made the monitor go blank and say "please change computers screen resolution." It's a Phillips TV. So I tried to fuck around and see what went wrong and went into the display options for the new AMD Crimson drivers. I went to scaling and set it to preserve aspect ratio and the screen just went black and the same text popped up. I tried hitting escape to revert changes but it didn't work. I rebooted and the screen is doing it at the startup screen."

He's using Windows 10 too, whether that is affecting things I'm unsure.

Screen should have a factory reset in settings

That's what I suggested as well

"Yeah but I didn't change ANY screen options through the monitor. Just the computer."

Apparently there is no factory reset option on the monitor/tv either. Shit must be ancient I suppose

Keep rebooting it when it finishes loading, and it'll come back up in safe mode.

From safe mode, replace the "generic PNP monitor" .inf with a .inf that actually drives your monitor.

Profit.
