For no apparent reason the screen goes black because it loses the input signal from the desktop. The computer is still running but is non-responsive. I have to hard boot the computer. It's happened several times within the past few days. I've been reading on EA that many other folks are having this same issue. Many people at first attributed this problem to hardware issues but with ever new case, it seems more and more like it is a Simcity problem. I also believe that it is not related to my hardware since my computer is 5 months old with 3rd gen i7 and AMD 7870 and Simcity is the ONLY game that gives me any problems at all.
Has anyone experienced these same symptoms and do you know of any ways to resolve this issue? It is quite a shame how this game is turning out to be. The more I play it, the more I start to think that this is a very flawed product. The fun and excitement of wanting to spend any time with this game has been sucked out of me now.
