I booted Windows 7 a few minutes ago, and saw what made me think something might have happened relating to my graphics card. Right before the log-on screen came up, I saw a lot of flickering/static, which I thought was really odd because the PC is connected to the monitor with a digital signal (DVI). The computer froze, at this point and I had to reboot. I'm posting from the same PC, so needless to say the reboot worked.
Since this is my first gaming PC, I know basically nothing about how long a graphics card will last before needing an upgrade to keep playing newer games. I'm getting a bit worried with the 6000 series already out, and I'm still using a 4000 series. I have the money, I just do not want to buy a new card until it will actually do me some good.
I have windows 7 7600 x64 and using the newest official Catalyst drivers from ATI for the Radeon 4890 1GB video card I own.
However I have noticed some little issues in games. Two games Im currently playing Trine, and Mass Effect show what I call a tear (its not anything missing) but when your running around you see a visible line move its way up the screen like your watching a fast refresh on PC-Anywhere or something.
It does not effect the game at all, or slow it down and its not 100% of the time its when your running or moving side to side etc. Always while in motion.
I thought maybe it was a vsync issue so Checked that in the graphic settings for Mass Effect but no difference. Does anyone know what Im referring to if there is a proper name and how I can go about reducing it or eliminating it in games?
In Trine it does it as well when IM running and jumping around (side scroller).
The problem is that for some reason I cannot get a pixel perfect screen to the Sony Bravia Full HD LCD TV with the Radeon 4890. There are always black borders around the screen.
Have the Catalyst 9.11 Suite for Windows 7 (64 bit) installed.
With a Nvidia 8800gt there is no need for any kind of settings, the picture is pixel perfect HD 1080p straight away.
Any idea how to get the resolution / settings correct?
symptoms/occurrences:- playing online league of legends video game (biggest culprit, crashes 1 out of every 5 matches on average, sometimes just freezes with static sound, or sends me to bsod and shuts down)- sometimes afterwards will shut down again after gaming crash, for e.g. i played a Internet video and it crashed, restarted tried playing it again, crashed again.- sometimes crashes randomly, however it seems that when there is audio or video running, or high performance programs such as video games running, it is more prone to happen.have not done a memtest yet, but will probably do shortly, just need to go out and buy a blank cd.

I recently re-installed win 7 on my dell studio 1454 laptop which I purchased 1.5yrs ago. and today while listening to music via VLC a strange screen just like tv static came up with a long beep.

I recently installed Windows 7 (64 bit) on my computer and I have yet to get working drivers for my Poworcolor 3850 AGP card. I've tried all the Catalyst suites, inlcuding those with hotfixes. I've tried manually installing multiple drivers through the Device Manager and still no dice. Everything else hardware wise runs just fine. Any ideas?
Just wondering if am the only one with this issue? There is no ATI Overdrive tab in my CCC, it's missing. Is there anyone else here with ATI 4890 and Windows 7 x64 that can confirm this? So i know if it's a local problem or hopefully a driver problem.
I just installed Windows 7 Professional Version on my computer, it is a high-powered desktop with good specs. My graphics card is a 1GB HD Radeon 4850. I used to have Windows Vista 64bit and it displayed with a clear screen. However, after my upgrade, now the screen is all blurry and messed up. I downloaded ATI CCC and installed the new drivers and STILL, the computer screen is so blurry.
I was really looking forward to this upgrade to Windows 7, but I feel almost forced to revert to Vista because after looking at the screen for about 5 minutes, i get the worst headache ever and my eyes strain awfully.
I use 1920 x 1080 resolution and an HDMI cable, the recommended setting. If I go down to the lower resolution like 1720 x 1000 (not sure if thats exactly what it is) it is more clear, but I lose space and I feel it is still not as clear as it was on vista.
After upgrading my existing installation to Windows 8, I realized I hated it and reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate (deleting the old installation). Once everything was up and running, I tried installing the latest AMD drivers for it (I'm using a Radeon HD 6700). However, after I reboot and the Windows splash screen disappears (but before the Windows Login), I get a blank screen. There's not any "No Signal" that pops up on my monitor, but my mouse does show.. I can boot just fine into safe mode, then disable the drivers to boot normally. However, I can't boot normally with the drivers enabled.
So I download an update for my ati radeon HD 4350 (AMD Catalyst) And it seemed to work fine before when i installed it but i turned in my computer this morning and ot seemed to work fine but after a few minutes my computer just went to a black screen. so i restarted my computer same results, so i booted in safe mode and decided to explore the problem. At first I attempted to uninstall and reinstall the update but when i tried to uninstall it failed and the message "failed to load detection driver" or "couldn't detect system specs" or something along those lines. So i tried to run a game and it wouldn't open. I think i may of somehow broke my graphics card?
I have a Toshiba laptop with an ATI Radoen 3100 Graphics adapter onboard. with windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit, I get the blue screen of death. what can I do about it?
So I play Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, the desktop is stock from Dell with ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB video card. It plays fine for 2 hrs or so then the screen would freeze for about 3 seconds and then the screen goes black for 10 to 15 second. Sometimes the game recovers sometimes the PC would crash.FYI I am a computer newbie. Below are my set up.
I've recently upgraded to windows 7 x86, and it works great. The only problem I have is that my ati mobility radeon 3650 graphics card doesn't seem to want to work.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers several times using several different versions of the driver (win7beta, vista32, mobilitymodded, unmobilitymodded).
Whenever I try starting up with the card enabled, the screen goes blank. After reinstalling the driver, everything but the wallpaper goes away. Can anyone help?
I am on an Acer Aspire M5100 desktop that came with Vista 32x preinstalled. I bought a ATI Radeon HD 4550 months ago that worked fine on Vista. I wanted to install Windows 7 64x Home Premium, so I bought a copy through Microsoft, created a boot disk, removed all non-original components (including graphics card), and did a clean install. I installed all my additional hardware and everything worked fine until my graphics card.
When I installed my graphics card, I downloaded the most up to date drivers (I got the link from this site), and rebooted. Upon reboot, my BIOS load, Windows starts to load, and then I get a blue screen. The blue screen flashes by so quick I can't read what they're saying. Then my computer restarts, and we start over again (blue screen cycle).
So I reconnected to the onboard gpu, and it started. Then I went into the Device manager, and uninstalled the old driver. Reinstalled my Radeon 4550, and current drivers, rebooted, nothing. Tried reinstalling windows 7, this time, removing old drivers first, than installing. Still nothing. This happens every time I enable the video card and then reboot.
I'm a noob so I've searched this site up and down. I've heard that maybe I need to update my BIOS. So I went to Acer.com to download the BIOs, and they don't have any listed for my PC.
With that said, I'm at my wits end. If anybody has any thoughts on what to do next, I truly appreciate it.
a few years ago i got a 5700 with windows vista 32 bit...playing an online game my frame rate was around 180...when I upgraded to win 7 ..ever since then the highest my frame rate is 60...times it drops into the teens..
It wont run in full screen always in middle. I tried messing with game options but it doesn't work for all games, I really need this fixed. I am using Radeon HD 5470. Windows 7 intel core i5 4gb ddr3 rams.
- Win 7 RC 7100 32 bit does not load the correct graphics card driver and even the boot menu is not displayed correctly (fuzzy black screen, issue known from Ubuntu installations where it was solved by adapting boot loader specifications…) I do know however, that the boot menu is loaded correctly as “arrow down” + “enter” starts XP without any issues.
Win 7 is somewhat loaded, when hitting “enter” only in what I think must be the boot menue. Harddrive gets active and for 5 secons I even get a “black screen in normal resolution” with the arrow displayed correctly. Then unfortunately returning to fuzzy mode.
Questions:
- How to boot Win 7 in vga or graphics modus being blinded? When hitting F8 hard drive reacts differently, but how then to select the right boot option without seeing anything? - Is there an option to install a different graphics card driver into win 7 via the working XP? - Is there an option to modify the boot menu’s options via working XP, e.g., setting to vga modus (that did the trick for Ubuntu). - Any experience with Radeon Mobility 9600 (MV350) under Win 7?
suddenly the grey lines engulfed 2-3rd of the screen of my laptop.. I had replaced replaced window vista with window 7 .Now i dnt know how to cope up this problem.
I downloaded some new drivers and updating everything was going good my screen went black my resolution went down then it went black again. it just stayed black then i got the blue screen and i cant start up windows.
I have been having for over 2 hours, but to no avail. Ever since I upgraded my previously windows vista computer up to windows 7, I have been having severe problems connecting to my home internet. Now, I cannot change any of my routers settings since they are my step fathers ,and he has a set username and password that I am not allowed to know. All other device in our house will connect just fine to our internet, and my laptop can connect to all other routers fine, this one is the only one I have problems with. What happens is that I get a "connected with limited access" error, and am completely unable to gain any internet access. I managed to set some static IP settings that allow me internet access, yet make things run more slowly and I am unable to connect with people properly in game, such as hosting a terraria server and other things like it. [code]
I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the network drivers, and when I troubleshoot problems when I'm not using the static IP, it says there is a problem but gives little to no information, while being unable to automatically solve the problem.Let me make it clear that when I was on windows vista, my connection was fine, and I still connect to every other network I try fine without the static IP. I have attempted to use ipconfig /remove and ipconfig /renew also to no avail, and I am really not sure what else I can do. The static IP allows me connection to the internet, but I am tired of it being slow and giving me trouble with connectivity.
I have a HP pavilion P6000 with windows 7.About a couple of months after I purchased the computer,I would turn it on and it would just loop the HP splash screen over and over. I called HP and after hours trying this and that I was told to disconnect any plugs from the computer and push the start button for 2 seconds to discharge any static then it would start right up, that worked for a few weeks Started happening over and over, sent the computer back to HP (after hrs. of tech support) they replaced the motherboard. That worked for about a month then same thing happened again.
Sent it back again (after hrs. of tech support) HP replaced something to do with the possessor, work for a while. Now every time I boot up I have the same problem again looping the HP splash screen until I discharge the static, then it works until I shut it off.
It is randomly changing from a static IP to a DHCP one, Problem is that it's my media server.it also happens for no particular reason, I can reboot 10 times and it'll stay the same, but after a day or two or three even (seems random) it just flops back. i've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver for it and got nothin.
This isn't a question about a printer sitting somewhere in the house.During tax season we go to the local library to do free tax preparation. We use an online program. We plug in our Ethernet cable to the library's system and each laptop has a static IP to identify it to the network.What we would like to do now is bring in a wireless printer to use for tax forms. Attached directly to this printer is a small router we have used before. But if we simply pressed the print button, I suspect it might look on the libraries wireless network for that printer.Besides assigning a static IP to this printer, I'm thinking we might also have to include the MAC address as well so it finds that router connected to the printer.
Whenever I try setting a static ip it works fine but other computers can't access my files on the homegroup (and I can't access theres either) , they can join alright and access each others fine.
Is it possible to use DHCP dynamic ip and static ip in one nic at the same time ? Like in xp via regedit ? Is it disabled to use them simultanously in Windows 7, one nic?
Google is full of "alternative config" suggestions, but they aren't what i'm looking for. (since it is for the "if DHCP isn't available" situation)
