alright, a couple months ago my ATI graphic card was so messed up. i couldnt play any video games. i am trying to fix it now but i have no idea how. is there anyway that i can update my graphics card? if so where? and honestly i tried this whole thing months ago, and i still cannot figure out how to do it. i have an ATI, i dont know how to check which kind, i know that on my start menu when i go to all programs the first program that is there is ATI HYDRAVISION. i also have ATI multimedia center, i dont know if that does anything related to my problem. and for some reason i have NVIDIA corporation - which inside that folder i have NVmixer.
 
Install PC Wizard and under hardware section click on the video tab and see what it says

You can just look in the Control Panel in Display under the settings tab, but if the drivers are not installed it will probable just call it standard VGA display adaptor.
 
hey thanks. but i still dont know why it wont let me play any of my games.

theres everything that it shows.
is there anything wrong with it?
 
i dled them, installed them, and the problem still happens.. when i install them i have to restart the computer, then when i restart it i see these blocks and blue ghost like dots on my screen. so i right click go to properties go to settings>advanced>troubleshoot. then i change the hardware acceleration to none and it fixes my screen to normal again. still wont work with the game. what should i do?:mad:
 
it sounds like artifacting, i think when this happens this means the card is dieing, i think your only bet may be to replace the card, or it could be the slot
 
well.. i dont think that would do anything either. but i have no idea what is wrong man. i really want to fix this so bad... and i dont have enough money to buy a new one. so yeah im only 16 and my dad knows nothing about computers thats why im seeking help from the masters themselves:). i tried to reinstall the drivers and it does nothing, only gets worse. is there anyway that i can like click on my graphics card and say repair? you know like in the programs menu thing?
