W3 black screen.
« on: March 30, 2011, 23:00 »
Okey , this is something new for me . I was playing dota , when suddenly i heard a windows sound and w3 turned into a black screen , i could do everything else besides w3 , but w3 stayed black. This rly is the first time it happened to me , what could that be ?
