Diablo 3 Causes Computer To Go Into Power Saving Mode(1)Category: Technical SupportDecember-6-2015 4:16 PM PST (7 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
When, and only when, I'm playing Diablo 3, my computer screens show that it's going into "power saving mode" and I am required to manually shut off my computer and restart it. This ONLY happens when I'm playing Diablo 3. The game runs on 60fps perfectly, and I can run more graphically intensive games without this happening
Specs:
AMD Athlon 860k 4-core
AMD Radeon HD 7700
8 GB RAM
Windows 8.1
DirectX 11
I also am running a video or stream on my other screen, but with other games like The Crew, it works fine.

Coffeecup,

I think you may be misinterpreting what you're seeing actually. The game has no way to initiate a power-saving mode on its own.

It sounds more like the video driver may be failing and trying to recover as happens in a TDR situation.

This link, on an Nvidia forum, provides a good explanation of what TDR is and has a few suggestions as to what may cause it and what may resolve it.

Coffeecup,

TDR issues can happen to any brand video card. Did you read through the article I linked and try any of the suggestions they give?

Keep in mind, I'm only guessing about it being a TDR problem as from your limited information, there's really not anything to go on here.
