VGA CARD

I have a Ati radeon x300SE 128MB. Suddenly, when i was watching a movie the image became distorted,, with lines. Almost like if u didnt have the drivers installed...Well i got the last drivers i could get from the ati website and nothing happens.

I discoverd that the problem is intermitent cause when i was watching a movie the quality seem good. but again im on the same situation. As i xplained in other topics i had problems with my Northbridge fan... i would like to know if the overheating of the chipset could be a cause of the video problem.... I havent gotten the chance to probe my VGA card cuz around me no one has a pciE MOBO............

What should i do.........





(i love my english)
 
i had a problem with my vGA card. I thought the problem was the monitor. I recently changed it and because of the good quality i realized that my problem is the card. I really dont know whats the root of the problem. In my curiosity i dismounted the card and the its passive cooler was kind of hot. Could my problem be a temp one?

And again what happens with my video card is that the quality seems poor. When u watch a video u can see vertical lines across. And yes i''ve tested many movies. Even i have tested the videos in other computers and the quality is good. So please i need some help

Sorry for the english. Im latino
 
High temps would definately screw up video. Have you run a 3d test like 3dmark06? Try that and see if the card shows artifacts. Also, have you tried other DVD playback software?
 
well. I've tried the 3d test of direct x and it just pass the first 3d test. After that the others fail. Seems distorted.Well. i have power DVD installed,DIVX player, BSplayer, and the same problem. i have starcraft installed in my pc and seems awful. i can barely play. Well i cant play it
 
ATI's Radeon X300se is the most horrible excuse for a video "card" that has all of Dx9 except SM 3 in it that has ever existed. Only the Xpress200 IGP is worse (and Nforce6100 /6150 moreso). Most GPUs will start distorting output at about 90-100 Celcius, so if you install ATI Tool Tray, you can find out how hot that atrocious little crap card is actually getting.

If it's actually heat screwing you up, you might try The Card Cooler. The website redirects now to a different URL...it could be a blip, or they might be out of business, I dunno. Anyway, dual Sunon fans blowing directly over both the top and bottom of the videocard can really help (especially if you wanna overclock). I got one a few years ago, it not only helped me overclock my Ti-200, it also got my 1.6A to run stable at 2.4G (before this cooler, I couldn't get over 2.2G stable).

Otherwise, another option is a new videocard.

 
For an hour I thought my video problem was solved. I was playing some videos and they seem to be Ok. I started to install ratdvd into my computer and suddenly the video quality went to be the same.What i mean is that again those annoying vertical lines appeard. I need Help. Maybe i should get rid of that video card. Now im not sure if that might be the problem. Anyone can help?
