I have an ATI X1600 video card that is slightly less than a year old. Out of the blue its started crashing, filling the screen up with red,green,blue and white lines, than eventually my monitor blacks out and gives an error that it can't accpt a frequency that is too high. Now the lines start right on boot up, so it can't be a driver problem. Anyone have a Mcguyver'esque solution or has my faithfull graphics card given up the ghost?
Answers:
Try this. Remove the video card from the board and hook back up to the onboard video card and when you boot up that problem shouldn't exist. If it does then it's possible you have a bad stick of memory. Anyways if all is well uninstall the driver for the x1600. Then shut down and put the card back in. When you reinstall the driver for the card just do the quick set up and set it to only display what can be handled for settings to avoid that problem. I have the same card. Not a huge card but it a respectable one.
Perhaps the key to the solution to this is with the monitor and not your card. If you can see well enough to get to the screen refresh rate in your display properties - set it lower.
replase it
