What is up with my ...?

..Graphic card. I have an ATI ALL IN WONDER 9700 pro and I am having problems with it. These problems happened before, long time ago and went away after months of strugge. Now they are back.

Every time I start a game, or almost anything, green "martix" style lines and dots appear, and my screen gets fucked. I updated the drivers, but nothing changed..please help me...

Might be a faulty card. Mine did a similar thing and then just died completely. Got it replaced under warranty :thumbsup:

The wierd thing is that I had the card for about..hmm I would say maybe 1 and 1/2 to 2 years and I havent had a problem for maybe 10 months, then had the problem for a few months, and then it stoppped. and now it started again. godaamit

i am sure that I dont have warranty

Did you have the same card, or what card did you have?

...computer forums.


also, did anyone else notice how many comedic although perhaps embarassing things the thread title could have been completed with? "what is up with my..." oh uh ok yeah nevermind :uhoh:

try few basic things first. Take out the card and make sure its seated properly in its slot, also make sure that your monitor is properly plugged in the card. And last if you already say you have updated the drivers try to also update the firmware.

moved to the comp forum

firmware?

P']firmware?



its basically a low level pice of software right on the board itself that regulats all its harware functions.

I'm trying to find a firmare update on the ATI site but they are making it difficult.

any other suggestions?

did you overclock it? Sometimes this happens when you overclock it. Although.. Sounds more like a hardware/software issue.

Nope
