Widescreen Gaming Forum

so ya i just built a new PC and everything is blazing, even me...

but one thing that won't work is Borderlands
install was fine, however when I start the game I get blue screen
not blue screen of death, but plain empty blue screen... and I can hear the claptrap on the start screen... just no video

only borderlands does this

here is the build

win7 64bit Professional
16gig gskill 1600 ram
MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1gig video card
i7 2600k 3.4
ASRock Fatal1ty Z68 mobo Gen3

52inch Philips TV - Model# 52PFL7403D/F7

widescreen is hard and full of ahskdhfuieolw!!

What version of the game? Steam?

Verify file integrity, also make sure the brink codec is not messed up.

comrade updated the game to the current version with a download...

but how do I check integrity and the brink codec
i also am having trouble finding the installation folder ironically
i can only find it in the startup menu under the games folder

I reinstalled the game again, in an attempt to fix the issue... no luck

I have updated the software on my TV... no luck

You can edit your posts so you dont have to spam the same topic with multiple posts.

As for fixing your problem I am pretty sure one of these two things will fix it.

Rad Tools = http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm

This will make sure your codec for the .bik files is ok.

Update/Downgrade your video card drivers and your Direct X

This is assuming its a game issue for you. If its a TV issue its probably something with resolution or refresh rate.

Yeah could be refresh rate/resolution not supported by your TV? Maybe the TV just doesn't have a "input out of range" type message and just does that blue screen.

thanks! it WAS my TV

I hooked up a different monitor and made sure the game was working right, which it was, and simply set the resolution to what I knew my big screen worked at... and viola it works.

thanks!
