Computer freezing after buying new monitor?

Question

I have a saphire radeon x1600 pro video card, and I just recently bought a Princeton VL1919 monitor. My problem is, every 30 or so minutes the computer will freeze for 10 seconds, be fine for 5 seconds, then freeze for 5 more seconds, followed by heavy stuttering for around 20 seconds. Ive updated my video drivers about 4 times since I got this monitor, and none of them fixed or even helped the problem. As a gamer, this is a pretty big problem. Does anyone know what is going on? If I change monitors it works fine.

Answer 1

You should probably update the drivers for your motherboard and the monitor. Not just the video card. You motherboard obviously recognize the video card and cause no conflict. Since it worked before the addition of the monitor. But, your monitor drivers need to work with your motherboard and OS. So may be a good decision to update them also.
If that doesn't help. I hope this does.

what is the maximum resolution of the monitor.
first check your monitor setting, may by set to high/low, did you get a cd with your monitor if so read the instructions on the cd

Then goto the website of your graphics card manufactures and download the latest drivers.

I had an identical component take place after changing the mobo,snap shots card and hard disk drive. I actually have a samsung video reveal and while the computing device went undesirable it led to the video reveal to do something, possibly shield itself, idk. yet i had to reset the video reveal , seem for buttons on the decrease part. Oh , you probably did load a driving force for the motherboard genuine ? a CD which you employ on start up.
