Eve messing with monitor and resolution

When docked in a station (never happens at any other time or outside of Eve) if I leave for a few minutes, to go get a coffee or something when I get back the monitor is blank and nothing will bring it back. The only way to get the PC to come back to life is a hard reset. The past couple of times it has started messing up the screen resolution when the PC has restarted. Also when in station the screen seems to be "flashing" (for want of a better word) a lot.

This seemed to start at the end of last week but I was living with it. Now it's getting a real problem as it's started with the resolution thing.

Anyone else come across anything similar and have a solution? BTW no settings on the PC have been changed and the Video card has had no problems with Eve at any time in the past. (NVIDIA Geforce GT320)


Thanks

Sounds like the card is maybe overheating. Simple solution is don't load the station environment which may or may not be acceptable to you. Hit ESC and its an option under the graphics tab.

Hey Othran. Switching off the Station environment seems to have worked. Not sure it's the temp though. Ran a temp check with it on and off and the temp on the GPU only goes up by a couple of degrees. And was well within operating temp of card.

And what makes it suspicious, it only ever happened when I wasn't at the computer.

I read a post a few days ago about anti botting measures. No keyboard or mouse activity. And wondered if it had somethign to do with that.

But anyway, it seems ok and I can live without station environment.

So cheers for that.
