Crashing while gaming.

[xidx123]

Hello, so my problem stems from games since I dont crash or anything while browsing. but as I play games such as csgo or league, my computer would go black and output the message "not optimum mode 1600x900". I suspect it may a hardware issue with the card which is a ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series. The only way to revive my computer would be to restart my pc directly.My computer is around ~half a year old so maybe its just the card?

Hi there xidx123,

You can start with updating your GPU drivers.
Other things you can do are:
- Set your monitor to its native resolution.
- Set your monitor to the optimum refresh rate.

Check these out(your monitor may not be the same brand but the way you set up the settings is the same):

Hello D_Know_WD

Ive already updated my drivers to the current ones.
I have also set my monitor and refresh rate to the correct values but to no avail. I still crash in the game. If you have any more suggestions, please send them my way.

Thanks,
xidx123

These two(drivers and monitor settings) are the most common causes for such errors.
Have you tried different resolutions? You can try 1280x1024 as well as some others. You can try using some different Video settings of the game as well.
