Black Screen (monitor not waking from sleep properly) investigation.

It happens to me alll the time with an Hd 9750 on 14.11.2 beta. Nothing has worked for me, i update motherboard bios, get a new dvi cable, change dvi outputs, change power settings, etc. I have not tryed to downgrade drivers, and probably i wouldnt gona do that because i play DA:I and the latest beta drivers works like a charm in that game. Im on windows 8.1

My monitor is an Hp compaq LA2405x and have the latest driver installed. I just have learned to live with the issue -_-

 

Zero cool guilty !

 

I've always had a problem where if I turn off the monitors via the power button on the front, I cannot turn them on again unless I unplug them from the video card and physically flip the power control switch on the back of the monitor to off. Wait a few seconds and flip that power control switch on again.

I have all my monitors connected via mini Displayport to Displayport. This has been the case with every driver I have ever tried. These monitors are ASUS PA248Q's running on a Win 7 x64 machine.

 

So, I tried the DVI-to-HDMI thing some people claimed fixed this issue; didn't go a night without the sleep issue, and the system was hard-locked even (no keyboard lights; monitor didn't come back after hotplug).

Need some more feedback from Windows 7 users. I'm convinced the sleep issue doesn't happen there, but I'm not entirely certain.

 

"GPU Scaling" enabled fixes this for me.

 

Don't know if this will help anyone, but here goes....

I had a Black screen problem on the 14.4 drivers when I only had one R9 290 plugged into a Samsung 46" 6 series TV via HDMI.

It was VERY specific and I could replicate it over and over.

The thing that gave me a Black screen on the Samsung 46" tv was starting Project Cars through STEAM. 8 out of 10 times I tried to start up Project Cars, the splash screen would show and then the TV would go completely black.

My TV went into a " crashed state " is the only way I could describe it, the remote control would do nothing at all, and the only way I could get a picture back on the TV was to physically pull the power cord out of it and then replug it back in.

Oddly, as soon as the power cord was plugged back in and the TV turned back on, the menu screen for Project Cars would be waiting for me and I could play the game and race with no problem at all.

The fix for me was to use a DVI-HDMI cable ( Just the cable, a relatively high end one ) No DVI-HDMI adapters, and I have NEVER suffered from the problem since.

I have tried all drivers released now up to 14.11.2 with no problem at all.

 

Just a quick video of the screen wake issue occuring: http://youtu.be/R7SqxcNpmO8

 

with dvi I could bring back the display by replugin the cable at the PC.

After changing to HDMI the monitor stand by bug disappeared.

Thanx for the video, espionage724!

PS:
aah, did every body deactivate the rapid start option in the energy option section?

what is this site good for?

 

It's a picture of the of the top ten issues fixed in the new omega drivers the black screen bug is one of them.

 

would you please provide the driver link?

 

Ah, lucky

I've had the screen wake issue occur on my DVI monitor with both a DVI cable and a DVI-to-HDMI cable :/

I recall disabling that option and still having the wake issue when I had an Intel board.

Cool

 

Thank you for posting the image. I hadn't made five posts yet so I couldn't embed it.

 

I use direct HDMI input. Maybe thats a difference, AMD High definition Audio Device installed?

 

Ah, my monitor only lets me use either DVI or VGA; but maybe I should just give the VGA port a try one day (before Omega arrives anyway).

Yeah I have the HDA Bus driver installed. I usually just disable it since I don't use HDMI anyway, but lately it like re-enabling itself on reboot for some reason.

It's now on the release notes for omega 14.12s. Let's see how it goes...

 

New omega drivers seems to fix the problem for me

 

Well, it seems my monitor also wakes up correctly now. Though I switched to DP from DVI on 14.11.2 beta when I was trying to fix it, and I am too lazy to connect my DVI cable again. One thing I noticed: with DP on 14.11.2 my monitor needed about 10-15 seconds to wake up, on 14.12 it wakes up almost instantly. I really, REALLY hope this annoying bug was fixed once and for all and we never experience it again with new Catalyst versions! :banana:

 

gigabyte 290x 14.12 omega driver and still i have the wakeup problem.
Never had this problem with my previous sapphire 6870.

Whole pc (windows 7 64bit hangs) when i push the power button for 3 seconds my pc won't shut down either.

When i don't let windows turn of my monitor i haven't had any other issues with this card.
