Problem With Graphics Card

[varshneyprateek]

Hi,

I have purchased an ATI Radeon X1300 graphics card around 8 months ago it worked fine till recently but now I am facing some problem with it.
when i start my computer i see yellow and black spots all over my screen
i reported the same to ATI and they told me to update my drivers
i did that but still having the problem
i formatted my system installed everything again still the problem persist
i tried with my Linux system running Open SuSE it also has some display problems
when i uninstall the drivers it works fine but not when i reinstall the drivers
i have attached a snapshot so that all of u can have a look
any help in this will be welcome.

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
MSI K8 m/b
1 GB transcend ram
Samsung 710N LCD monitor
450 watts PSU
Genuine Windows XP Prof

Well could be a number of things, first stop is heat. Is your case well ventilated? Check that the heatsink is properly attached to the card so it is making adequate contact with the GPU- if in doubt reinstall the heatsink with some new thermal paste. Also make sure dust is not clogging the fan so it cannot spin. It could also be a dying card- might want to look up the manufacturers warranty or inquire at the place you bought it.

The card is dying, call ATI again and get an RMA.
