Graphics Card Problems
I've had my graphics card (Radeon 9600) for a couple of years, and never had any problems before a few months ago. Now, sometimes I'll be surfing the web, and all of a sudden my screen goes black. Sometimes the screen comes back on and all the icons refresh, and sometimes the screen stays black. The monitor is still receiving a signal even when it's black.
Sometimes when the screen refreshes, my mouse cursor comes back as a square box instead of a pointer. Also, sometimes I click on a weblink and I hear a system beep and a few seconds later, the graphics crash. I'm assuming this is a problem with my graphics card, but I'm not sure what to do. When this started happening a few months ago, I updated to the latest drivers, and until last night, everything was working fine. Now, it seems to crash every few minutes. I don't have much open at the time (IE and Trillian, usually). Any ideas? Most amazing jew boots |
Try the card on another system or try another card in your system. The outcome of that should say enough.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
It's almost certainly a fault with the graphics card, although we would only know for sure once you do what Grawl suggests. Start saving up, buddy!

Besides, for $24, you can buy yourself a 'test'-card. That shouldn't hurt too much. I was speaking idiomatically. ![]() |
