I have a big problem on my pc using Kart Racing Pro..
My computer make a black screen and the fan of video card go at maximum speed...so I explain:
I start play in demo mode, in Lonato..all good... I make some laps...and after 5or 6 minutes, cpu fall...
Black screen, and fan at maximu speed..
I see temperature and other..all ok before black screen..
The cpu don't answer to any key...

I have:
-Intel I7
-motherboard Gigabyte GA-PH67-UD3-B3 (bios f6, last version)
- GTX 560
-16gb of ram
-Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
(ALL ORIGINAL!!!!)

All driver last version...all games go perfect (rfactor, gtr, race 07, Rise of Flight, Arma2....ecc ecc)
only with this game...

I don't know what can be do...

Is the CPU overclocked?
Could you please try at stock speed?

Butzy

No overclock..
It's at stock speed...

Butzy

Please help me....
Today I try rfactor and Gtr for 1h ...no problem

Before close pc i go into kart racing pro...e after 5 minuts...BOOOM...all crash...pc freeze...and fan go at maximum speed...
:(((((((((((((((((

Has anyone else experienced the same problem with Kart Racing Pro or another software?

A lot of people seem to have problems with their GTX 560.

A quick google search for "GTX 560 black screen" shows a lot of results.

The solutions offered were quite different.
- reducing the GPU clock
- raising the GPU voltage (vGPU) with Afterburner - be careful
- downgrading the driver
- uninstall VLC
- making a warrenty call

I don't have a GTX560, so I can't give you more specific tips.

In general KRP needs more graphics power than Race07, rFactor, gtr, ...
So it's possible that they run, but KRP shows the hardware problem.

I had already read this nvidia topic...but I try other game like Rise of Flight and IL2 Clifs of Dover...
and now i use Battelfield 3...........
no one game make crash pc...only kart racing..is this the big mistake.....
:(((((
I wait new driver and hope to solve the  problem....

Thank you.

I'm using gtx460 and no black screen.

Bought this game yesterday and it is fantastic fun. Adding to this thread as it may assist with any investigation you plan to do.


We ran it for most of the day on an older machine with great framerates, etc; then mid way through the day in the middle of a session the display filled with garbage, keyboard responded by could not drop out of the game so was forced to power off the machine. Machine came back up after power off.

It then ran for a few more hours until it finally black screened mid session leaving me with 'no signal' on the display. Powered off the machine again as I was left with little option. Now my card no longer outputs a signal to the display at all although the computer posts and boots successfully based on bios beeps and the vnc session i can join; the vnc session also with garbled output reinforcing my diagnoses of the display adapter being screwed.

As I said the hardware i was running was older (and thankfully free):
- Nvidia 6800GT (AGP)
- AMD X2 4600+
- 3GB DDR2
- Windows XP

I have been running Quake 4, Quakeworld, Trine, Race07 and other accel software without any evidence of issues for months on this same machine; the system itself has been nice and stable.

There is no overclocking used on any hardware in that machine; unfortunately since I cannot get a display output from the machine anymore I cannot add any additional information. I assume since the hardware is older if probably does not include the recovery modes/safety nets which may be present in the later hardware therefore i'm left with no output from a card which apart from a physical lack of display reports correctly to the system.

Still its a great game; Currently I am quite wary of running beta4 on any other hardware atm.

"Display filled with garbage" should be due to overheating graphics card. Was the computer case properly cooled?

yeh nice big full tower case, plenty of fans etc and only (these days) running a single hdd (cooled) and dvdrom.
