HELP!! ATI 9800 non pro!
I was going to purchase the 9700 pro but they don't seem to be selling
it any more in retail stores. So i purchased the 9800 non-pro for 300. I have an Nforce2 Asus a7n8x board and my previous video card was a gf3. Soon as i put the card in and booted it up. Everything in windows was crupted. If i drag a window across is just screws all up visualy. After messing arround with the advanced settings under the trouble shooting section i turned down the acceleration one notch and everything poped up correctly. Everything looks as it should. Except when you move a window is goes all screwy. Or browsing on a webpage it makes everything unreadable and basicly jumbles everything. 3d in games works great. I ran 3dmark and aside from the opening little picture that comes up everything looked beautiful. It is some sort of directx problem with windows i'm guessing. So heres what i did. I reinstalled the latest graphics drivers from Ati. I reinstalled the latest Nforce drivers from ATI I updated the Asus bios to the latest. Didn't Fix it. So I reinstalled windows. I didn't format just did a reinstall of it I did all the previous things as i did before the reinstall of windows. I made sure i had directx9a. Reinstalled that again. I'm just out of ideas. I'm going to call tech support tomorrow and see whats up. Perhaps i got a bad card or something i'm not sure. DirectX and the drivers say it's the 9800 pro, which the box was not. Anyone have any tips suggestions or fixes? |
