Hey there, I’m having problems playing games with a recently (newly) installed ATI graphics card. Here is some information about my current adapter:
Adapter Type: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro
Chip Type: ATI Radeon Graphics Processor (0x9589)
Memory Size: 512 MB
I run on a Intel() Inside motherboard and the computer is kind of old (about 3 years or so) and I had decided to upgrade it recently. I installed several hardware such as a bigger HD (250 gigs to be exact), a bigger power supply (550W) than the previous 300W, and I also bought an extra Memory Chip (512 MB) which brings me to a total of 1024 MB of memory.
The problem here, as I see some other people have, is that all the games I try to play end up with the same result. Which happens to be the “No Signal” message which appears on my monitor shortly after I start a game, see screen tearing, endure the painful “screen freeze” and then a short blink of orange or yellow on the screen.
The first time I had trouble with this graphics card was the day I had brought it back from the workshop. It worked fine for about an hour or so but then I saw screen tearing and it eventually got worse from there. I would get a blue screen saying a “Ati2dvag driver” was the cause of the error. Later on through the month, It had stopped showing the error, but continued to have problems (the “No Signal” message). I also tried reinstalling drives, downgrading to (some) lower drives (wasn’t sure of which specific drive, but was sure it fixed ati2dvag problem) and reinstalling Windows (XP Home Edition) without any positive result.
If you need any more information, I will be glad to give it to you. Does anyone have a working solution for this particular problem? If so, please inform me here, thanks in advanced. 🙂
EDIT: Here are the games I have tried without success;
-Supreme Commander
-Battlefield 2142
-Archlord
-Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
-World of Warcraft
-Warcraft 3
Problems also occur while I watch High-Definition videos as the screen turns an inverted color scheme and is slowed down, possibly lagging.
