I use the following computer:

with the ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 w/ 256MB video card and for some reason I'm being prompted at game start the lower my settings automatically. Beyond that almost every time I launch the game I get a black screen and my computer locks up. This is a brand new computer with a kick TRIBBLE video card (for a laptop). Has anyone else experienced these issues?

    Did you see if you have the most up-to-date graphics drivers distributed by Lenovo?

    I am beginning to get black screens on a 7800 GTX (yes I know it's an old card but it worked fine till last patch) as if the card/monitor is going to into power save mode.

    So far this only seems to occur when play STO for 10 mins or so.
