Re: Black screen in MCE after standby



It may work fine with 3 blocks of Ram if not 3 then 2. Some systems have MOBO power problems with certain brands of RAM when 4 blocks are used.

I'm using 1360x768, which is supported by the tv. Tried to change it to
1280x768 but it doesn't look right.
I found an interesting thread on the Green Button. It says that to fix this
probem, just stick with one block of RAM. I removed the other 3 blocks, and
guess what. It worked.
There's no explanation on why.

As you can see the thread also mentions something about hardware decoding.
Haven't been able to find that line in my regedit, but maybe it's only for
the PCI graphicscard and not the onboard.

Stick with 2GB of RAM till you get the problem fixed.
What resolution are you running over the VGA interface to your TV when using
MC and does the TV user manual state that it will accept this resolution
over VGA?
