Anybody had any trouble playing Q4 with the triple head? My pc reboots like 30 seconds into playing a game but only in Q4 and only in triple head. I play in 1280x1024 in ultra mode with everything maxed in single monitor mode with smooth frame rate and no lockups but it just doesnt like triple head mode. I have no trouble playing FEAR or farcry or any other game and believe me i have a ton of games that ive tested with this thing all successfully. ID games seem to not like this triple head very much as they stretch the screen instead of natively supporting the resolution and they lock up and reboot my pc....not cool ID.

... not quite right ...
The res and the FOV are fine as they can be input into the config.

... it is the aspect Ratio that is wrong with this game ... Doom 3 (+ add-on) and COD2 ... :( ... there is no way to correct it at the moment.


BTW... it runs fine on my rig ... all be it with the bad aspect ratio ... :roll:

i dont know why my box gags on q4 in triple head mode. i know fear has to tax this rig harder than q4 and fear runs stable as can be as well as flight sim 2004, ut2k4 and a slew of others. i get about 30 seconds of q4 and then BEEP *reboot*. q3 runs fine but forget q4. they look bad anyway with that aspect ratio.

Maybe you don't get enough power? Or the gfx card gets overheated?
A few things that can cause your computer to reboot...
Kinda strange tho as it handles fear just fine :?
