    Just got a new GS74 Asus with all the bells and whistles for gaming, as my old Dell desktop died and left me stranded. My problem is simple, and I know it must be something very easy to cure, but I can't figure it out.

    I've installed 4 different games, varying from my old favorite Diablo II/Expansion to the newer Assassin's Creed, and they all do the same thing when installed. They boot up, but I get no video, just a black screen. I can hear the audio, but have absolutely no video on any of them.

    What's the problem here?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Tom
