Hello,
Months ago I had an old placeholder monitor (VGA) and was able to run gta v perfectly fine. But now when i’m playing Portal, my monitor randomly shuts off and I hear the game’s sfx on a loop from my headphones. I tried blindly clicking, pressing keys etc. but I can’t do anything but turn off my pc from the button. I haven’t recognized a pattern but id say it generally took about 20~30 mins for it to shut off my pc. I doubt its an overheating problem because i checked the temp for mobo, cpu and gpu right after it shut down. I can’t tell whether this is a hardware problem or something else?
I found a line of code on a steam forum as i was looking around (GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.hwcaps=-SSE4_2 steam
) and when I launched the game with this line, i was able to play for a bit longer. I haven’t ran any other games besides Portal since I got my new monitor.
My monitor model is VP248QG
