Screen going black(1)Category: Technical SupportJuly-5-2014 1:41 PM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
My screen keeps going black. I can hear the sound in game still.

If I alt tab, my screen comes back. I can tab back in but after anywhere from 5-30 seconds the screen cuts back out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Xavier,

If you don't already have it enabled, enable Vertical Sync in the in-game options. See if that helps any.

Xavier,

Just reply in this thread.

If it doesn't help, I'll need to see your dxdiag info next.

You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in: dxdiag (In Vista, type dxdiag in the search field)
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste it ALL here.

Could you also post your D3Prefs.txt file? It's located in the My Documents\Diablo III folder.

Vsync "0"

You still have vertical sync disabled.

Xavier,

I'd try removing the fps limiting in the in-game options too. Just remove the checkmarks next to the sliders. Is there a particular reason you have the game running at a lower resolution than the desktop? 1280 x 720 vs 1920 x 1080

You also may want to revert to an older Catalyst video driver. I'd suggest 13.12 which you can get here:

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Windows%207%20-%2064&rev=13.12#amd-catalyst-packages

Instructions for uninstalling and installing AMD drivers can be found on these links:
