Pretty much what happened is one day i came out to my computer after my friend had used it to play counter-strike and from then on whenever i opened anything with 3D Graphics (i.e. World of Warcraft, Hellgate London, When trying to watch movies, that sort of stuff.) Although it would run Diablo II LOD expansion perfectly fine. I'ver also tried switching the monitors out with my friends, nothing changed.



Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, welcome to TSF. :wave:

Reinstall the graphics driver.

Thanks :grin: .

Ok, i have gone online and updated the drivers, but doesnt it uninstall then reinstall drivers in the process? if not, i may be a little lost on how to reinstall them.

Usually you have to uninstall the old driver yourself.

What video card do you have?

this is what confuses me, when i go into the device manager it says i have a primary drive which consists of a Radeon x1300 but after that it says that it is part of the 1550 series... Whenever i go onto the website it either gives me a choice of the 1300 or 1550 but not both. I dont know if it matters or not but i also have a secondary video card which says its the same thing as the original video card.

Why do you have two cards?

Download and run Everest.
That program will produce a list of what's inside your computer.
In Everest press Computer - then Summary. Save the report as plain text. Please post back, with that report as an attachment.

good lord i hope i did that right. if not, ill try again just let me know. This is an awesome site, by the way. Very helpful :grin:

The report shows it as an X1300/X1550 card... Could be an X1300 based on the X1500 series core. I'm not too familiar with ATi cards anymore.

ok, so i have uninstalled all the ATI software on my computer and reinstalled the drivers using the ATI website, but i still get the green stuff all over the screen. Would it help if i took a screenshot?

 

[1 g0t 0wn3d]

yes it would

Did you use this driver? http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp

Please follow these instructions: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=20870

 

[J Rom]

ive done all that and still nothing.Could it be possible that it may not be my video card?

 

[Deleted090308]

The screenshot looks like something a "sick" video card would do.
Is there another card you can try?
What power supply do you have? (look at the sticker inside the case)

 

[J Rom]

it says Antek 100-240v 50-60hz 380w max. i dont have another card unfortunately =(. is there any "antibiotics" i can give my card?
