Radeon 4850 - Blurry Screen
Nov 10, 2009
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.

Like the title above says i need something more powerful than the xfx radei HD 4850 1GB but not to expensive, Sure it still chugs a long fine but lacks newer dx features, I only payed $130 when i bought that card a cpl years ago but I'm looking for something cheaper than can beat it in performance. That and ati just put that card in legacy support Model HD-485X-ZDFC rev.2.1 if you all want to look up the specs has double lifetime warranty one of the reason i bought it, Had it replace by xfx once when capacitors started leaking in an older revision of the card.

I've a single ATI with dual monitor connections,
as Im using windows 7 and the latest Windows 7 x64 drivers from ati (after installing all drivers in the latest history)
I lose my second screen(screen remains in sleep mode) after the sleep mode initiated . It seems to be a programming error in the driver...
I can get the second screen up by the following sequence simple logging out --->>
switch User ... logging back in ( it takes some time after loggging in though....
Is there a way to detect what sequence(command) is sent to the screen and if I could add that sequence in the loggin...
I've the impression service from ati is bad they've simular reports dating from the beggining of Vista and never bothered to change anyting (by the way never had such problems in XP).

After recently switching to Windows 7 from xp after doing a reformatting on my hard drive, text and pictures look blurry and hard to read. I have gotten all the drivers for my monitor and video card as well. My current resolution is 1680x1050 and is the native resolution for my monitor. I honestly have no idea what happened since I've never had these problems on xp before.

I have a weird issue where my screen will get all light colored and just really crappy quality - blurry. I'm not sure if it is Windows, Nvidia, the HDMI cable, my monitor or what. I apologize if this is the wrong forum.
This usually happens coming out of full screen from Windows Media Center, but sometimes after a reboot.
I can turn off my tv (Sony Bravia - 52" LCD - KDL-52W4100) and turn it back on then the problem is fixed. Sometimes I can go full screen and back out again and that will fix it.
I have HDMI connection - Windows 7100 - I have the latst Nvidia drivers 186.. - I have tried a different HDMI cable also.

So yeah, everything was working fine when I was in XP SP2 a month ago.
I upgraded to Windows 7 (fresh install) and I've been having a ton of problems.
First there are screen-redraw problems in almost every application
Photoshop and illustrator are the worst affected. Sometimes when I type text, it's 'streaming'. Everything was fine under XP. Even when I drag on desktp, it kinda' lags.
Second when I play games like counter-strike, the fps keeps spiking every 2 minutes, which was not present in XP. I used to get flat 100fps on XP now it hardly touches 100.
I've updated to the latest graphic card drivers and installed hotfix etc., still no avail.
I think this is most likely a graphic card problem, so if someone could advise me or help me solve this, that'd be much appreciated.

My computer has a Radeon 4850 hooked up via VGA to Samsung LN32A650
Running Vista Ultimate 32 bit, no problem, TV is detected and native 1920x1080 resolution is supported.
ATI Catalyst 9.9 is installed.
Running Windows 7 64bit (updated with latest patches) and Catalyst 9.9 64 bit drivers causes a "Mode not Supported" message on bootup.
I can get the Windows 7 to go to 640 x 480 mode sometimes and then change the resolution to 1366 x 768 but no higher.
I have seen other people with similar but not identical symptoms but no clear solution.

I purchased my new computer on Christmas 2008 due to the sales they had that day. When I first got it, it work perfectly fine without even downloading the drivers. I'm a developer for a game and I use various software needed for graphics editing. I play a 10 year old game (Sony's Infantry) almost everyday on average for 1 to 3 hours a day and my system temps are pretty normal. Around 40-50C temps when playing. I use compressed air every 2 weeks and my case is nice and tidy so there's no dust bunnies or anything of that sort.The problem arose during the month of August 2009. There were no artifacts or blue screens or anything like that. The computer would just suddenly turn off on its own and when I tried to power it on, it did not display a picture. I saw the CPU fans spinning, the HDDs were running, all the cables are connected properly, the video card (sapphire 4850) fan was on and there's 1 beep code.
I asked my friend to borrow his old 8600GT and my computer worked normally. He suggests that my PSU may not be supplying enough juice to the GPU. I thought it might have been the mobo. But my friend is more knowledable than I am. I ended up buying a new PSU. The PSU ended up not solving the problem. Then I buy the same exact card that gave me the problem and a new motherboard and installed the drivers.. that didnt do it either. With basically a brand new computer minus the RAM, I end up with the same results.
Original setup:
Intel Q6600
Sapphire ATI 4850 HD
Asus P5E
Antec 500W
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
Antec 500W Continuous SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified
Windows 7 x64
Windows Vista x64
[code]....

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.

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.

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'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.

- 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?

I just got a brand new computer last night, but the monitor looks very washed out, and blurry. I have researched the matter, but have found no solutions, and I really don't want to have to take it back. I ran a display quality test, and it found two errors, but didn't explain how to fix them... "Visual effects settings aren't optimized for best performance" "current video card driver isn't compatible with the wddm" My exact computer is this one... AX1430-UD30P | Product Model My exact monitor is this one... Amazon.com: Acer S230HL 23" Class Widescreen LED Monitor: Computers & Accessories?

I have no idea why but in some applications like Chrome, Audacity and Installer wizards, the text is blurry. It's not blurry in any other applications that I've come across yet. I've gone through the personalisation thing in Control Panel with the Display settings, and got to the point where now only select applications and icons are blurry, is there a way to fix this in these applications?
Blurry text and icons in Audacity:
Blurry icons in Paint:
Blurry installer wizard text:

I noticed that my current resolution is set automatically by Windows 7 to the max on a 22'' screen which is 1680*1050 at that high resolution everything is super sharp and crisp.. But if i try to go a little lower, even by one step, the text and the objects seem a little bit less sharp. For example if I go to the 1280*1024 resolution, like I am used to while running windows XP, the sharpness fades a little bit..
I just update my Video card driver
here are my spec:
E6600 overclocked to 3.4Ghz
ATI 4890
4GB (currently using 3.2GB on a 32-bit system)
Asus P5N32-SLI Motherboard
