Graphics problems? Who can tell...

raden · 05-03-2005, 06:16 PM

Ok this is a thing I've been working for while with help from friends and this great forum. I thought for so long that it was a graphics card problem so yesterday I took it out and sent it back to ATI for replacement/repair. I put in my old card, Radeon 9200 256, and guess what! Same problem! So I'm guessing it's something besides my graphics card... plus I've been posting in the XP forum because I used XP for a long time, but 2k is now my choice... so any ideas?

Still Having graphics problems.
Extreme graphics problems... no hope?

Have you tried running a memory test with something like Memtest?

If the problem stays when you replaced the card I would start looking at other hardware. Check the cables between the monitor and the card, make sure they are all in good shape and connected firmly. Check your memory to make sure its in good shape.

You may also try SpeedFan to make sure your computer isn't overheating.
