Problem here with an i5 and nvidia 1 GB computer-- This computer has been running a playlist non stop fine for a year.

Today I added a BM mini monitor downloading drivers from the website.

When I start the external output on the monitor the following happens:


1) Everything is fine for 1-3 minutes
2) All of a sudden, the monitor output goes black, and the dropped frames on the external button status shows 30 frames a second being dropped (render time is 3ms)
3) Clicking external off bring up the "do you want to stop external output" prompt which i say OK
4) The external red button never goes off and vmix immediately locks up
5) If i force close vmix I can no longer access the monitor on vMix restart because it says it is in use
6) To get it to come on again I have to restart the computer
7) Repeated 5 times or so and same thing happens

I have moved slots...

Any thoughts?

Hi!

do you ABSOLUTELY need to go via a rendering card? Can't you simply use the HDMI out on the nVidia?
I'm not answering your issue, but based on my experience, I would not advise anyone to use external rendering, HDMI out is much more reliable and with the help of a splitter you get the same result without issues (unless you're using external for a different feed than PGM)
