Can Sound Errors Cause Game to Crash?
ZephyrZodiac:
Is it the monitor that is shutting down, or does your PC itself shut down too? Have you checked all the settings that the video card has, just in case there is something not right there. Just suggestions, not at all sure if they are any use, but sometimes these settings get altered. I had this problem when Windows Update decided I ought to install the world time clock update - and when I did, all my settings had been completely lost. I had to do a system restore to get them back and informed the updater it could keep the darned clock update!
Inge:
Proper crashes tend to be generated by sound and missing mesh errors more than coding errors which tend to allow the game to continue or material errors which cause pretty blue or red effects. So yes I think it is perfectly possible your problems could be caused by a problem (or missing) sound file.

Did you put in an ATI card? I have had this happen to me from time to time. I thought it was the card itself, or maybe the motherboard, but if you are having it happen occasionally too...
I have an ATI card and I'm having the same problems as KellyQ. What'd possibly going on?

This has happened to me too, and it is utterly baffling. I always end up having to turn off the computer. I'm using a Radeon 9200. Piece of shit, yes, but what's sad is the intergrated card doesn't do the shit that this card does. :(
I have the same/simular video card. The same card my brother made the main video card for my computer!

What setting should I check and alter?

It's just the monitor, the computer continues to run but the monitor shuts off and will not come back on. I end up having to manually turn the pc off because nothing will make the monitor resume.
I have a XFX Nvidia Geforce 7600. B and Hegelian(sorry if I am misspelling that) have been quite helpful with suggestions and ideas and I really thought it had been squared away. The only other thing I could think of was to check the error logs and hence my post regarding the sound.

We had a few of the screens at work start doing that the other week. Dell machines. Turned out to be a problem on the motherboards.
