I've had this card for almost a year, when I first got it, all I did was put it in the motherboard, switch the the cable from the onboard to the PCI-E slot and then I used the disk to install the display driver/catalyst control center. ( I did not disabled my Intel 8 something express chipset/it seems that that was what I was supposed to do in order to install a new graphic card)

Ever since then I had this issue once that my screen would make a weird sharp sound for a second and the screen would then be scrambled with jumbles of disorganized lines of colors and it would turn off and and say it's not sensing the presence of the PC etc etc.

And when I reboot the Loading screen which saids Microsoft Window and a loading bar is strange because there are dots of red on certain Letters of Microsoft Window mainly Soft and Micro there are red dots there, and when the loading is over I would hear weird sounds and little blue pixel dots popping up and going away all over the screen. and then the Login window doesnt boot up I don't see the mouse cursor.
It would just be blank screen untill i turn it off, but that was a long time ago I managed to fix it in abrious ways and recently I would get the blue screen of death instead of the blank screen.


What I did after this was I format my computer and reinstall vista. and then I used the disk again, and when I did it told me to reboot and when I did the same thing happened......
So thus I reformat...again and then this time I use window update to automatically find my driver, this worked for awhile like the first time. But the same thing happened after a while, weird noise scrambled screen, i would continue to do this for a long time every month or so, but recently even when I do that when I reboot I get the blue screen of death. SO the last successful attempt I disabled my onboard card, reboot, switch to PCI-E slot( i had on onboard because i was too lazy to remove the card)reboot and then run in safe mode and uninstall driver( I even checked the box that said remove COMPLETELY) I had the notion that the display driver was corrupted) and then when i reboot again... it automatically installed it for me a green dot and a modem picture on my taskbar near the time... it said it was successful. I did this for two times. then the other time the auto install thing failed and i go to device manager and used the search online thing.it worked. But this time while i was watching anime it happened again. That was like 2 weeks ago,Did everything but auto install failed,i used the search function on the device manager found it reboot but i was unable to reboot it was the blue screen of death.




I overcame the problem by cleaning my graphic card, it had dust in it, and when i washed it, etc etc, afterwards I used the newly acquired method of solving the corruption by uninstalling the displa ydriver completely etc etc.
(When I cleaned the graphic card itself, the loading screen was all white no red dots or anything, could it be that my PC can't handle it or something?)

I did that the 2nd time after the latest incident to no avail, and I still crash when I reboot.

So can someone who knows stuff like this please tell me what's going on? Because I spent like 80 dollars on the card and it's unfair that I can't run games decently or to be able to play decent game.

You need to upgrade ur CPU and RAM, dude. No wonder u cant run tht many games. Your CPU will screw you over if ur trying to run high spec games.

I know it's possible to upgrade ram, but for CPU, don't you need to buy a new computer?

I'm fine with it breaking every once in awhile. I'm not planning on playing graphic intensive games.

I just want to know how to make it work again, and it does work......


Can't find it, but that doesn't matter, a temporary solution will do.

Lol no. As long as your mobo's socket is the same as the cpu, you can replace it.

Not necessarily..... but

IMHO, its definitely NOT worth it to upgrade any further for that computer,
If you really have an intel celeron in it, the computer itself must be well over 7+ years old... That's well over the normal lifespan of its common use lol, considering how fast technology expands.

Regarding your video card problem....
Did you really wash it? lol

After reading your post:
Why the hell are you using vista? You may have had less troubles if you were still using XP lol
Well, i still am
