Question Heya, After a long peroid of wroking fine my comp hangs and the monitor flickers and shuts off when i'm playing games(normally High-spec) I have all the updated DX and Catalyst Drivers, also i've reformatted and installed Last Xp to see if that was the problem but it still does it. I have to reboot the pc afterwards. Any help would be great
cheers
Answer Make sure the card is firmly in its slot (yes they do wiggle out over time). Actually remove it and reinsert it.
Then go ATI's website and download the new drivers. Don't install them. If there is a problem with your current driver installing again will not fix the problem.
Go to device manager. Expand display adapters. Right clcik your cand and choose remove/uninstall. Then go to add remove programs and uninstall any ATI drivers and or software.
Reboot.
Cancel the hardware wizard. Now install the driver you downloaded.
