New DVI/D-sub monitor giving me BSOD.

[Dynabol]

Not once have i ever had the blue screen of death on my pc.

My old tv that i used as a monitor died last night and it worked via HDMI. I've just upgraded to a LG 20M35 monitor which uses DVI/D-sub connectors and got a blue screen of death about 2-3 hours after using it. I'm also using a GTX 680 GPU with a 750w PSU.

Is there anyway to stop this?

Edit:

It also comes with driver software.

thanks

Hi

Do you know what the Blue Screen error is ?

the message may flash by too quickly to read

You can tell the PC to pause after BSOD which gives you time to record the error message or number


via
System, Advanced System Settings, Advanced tab , Startup & Recovery, Settings
then untick Automatically Restart

You said screen has DVI & D sub (blue VGA) which are you using ?

Though I would be surprised if changing the TV for a LCD screen would cause BSOD problems
or which output (DVI is more modern and probably recomended)

If screen resolution is much higher with LCD screen than TV then Graphics card may get hotter and over heat when playing games

it's the blue VGA then connected to an adapter for the GPU.

I didn't get the error number sorry.

Well i've never had BSOD before and since i changed i got it, only once so far but yeah.

My resolution is 1600x900 which is smaller that what i used[ previously which was 1920x1080.

the game i currently play is a very old game and wouldn't even use my gpu to be honest, that and the fact the game probably runs at close to 800x600.

it has to be the monitor/cable.

I've done what you said and i will try and find an error code for you.

generally monitors don't cause BSOD's. It has to be something else.

i know for a fact it's the the monitor or cable or something to do with that. never had BSOD before untill 2 hours after this monitor was installed

did you not down the bsod code or did you get the memory dump file. you can check the event viewer from the control panel and check what caused the error when your computer shut down. that should give an idea what went wrong.
