| Re: graphics card ati malfunctions Download Driver Sweeper from guru3D Guru3D - Driver Sweeper (Setup) download from Guru3D.com .....and install it... Download latest ATI 9000 driver from Drivers & Software Uninstall Card through add/remove programs.... Restart Boot into Safe Mode (F8) Run Driver Sweeper and have it get rid of ATI Display Driver leftovers Restart Install latest ATI Catalyst Control Center and Display Drivers Restart the final time That should at least eliminate any problems with your drivers..... If card still messes up after that----you may have a piece of hardware that has just gone bad----that card is old----but you can check with ATI to see if it has a lifetime warranty----most ATI branded cards do
