Flickering screen with UT2004

TheOrangeRemix · 06-26-2006, 09:01 PM

Hi all,

I am having some video problems while running UT2004. Every 2-3 minutes, the screen just blanks out (the sound cuts out too). Sometimes, the video and sound come back, but other times, the screen just turns black indefinitely. I have tried running at all resolutions at 600 x 800 and above. I know that 600 x 800 should work because that is the mode that I used when I had my old video card.

I am currently running on an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro.

Yeah, a new PSU is what that system needs most. 500w or higher.
