Display Driver Problem

**Bazza** · 03-03-10, 09:14 AM

Been cleaning up a friend's PC as it was running like a 3 legged dog. Did all the usual I do Ccleaner, Malawarebytes, Spybot, HijackThis, AVG AV, Reg Mechanic and got it running heaps improved. - But in the device manager for display adapter shows there is a problem with Gigabyte Radeon 9250 & Gigabyte Radeon 9250 (Secondary) drivers. I deleted both and rebooted to let Windows re-install, which it did but still same. Download latest drivers from ATI, MS & Gigabyte tried them all still same problem. OS is Win XP Home - what am I missing? What do I try next?
cheers Bazza

you mean there's a yellow mark on them in device manager?
or just there's 2?

Yes they both have the yellow symbol

does it say the card in display properties?
maybe its stuffed
its pretty old
could try manually picking the driver from device manager

Think your right Phil, now the screen display is freezing. Will remove card, clean contacts & reseat it - see if that makes a difference

Thanks for posting the outcome Bazza

. There is nothing more annoying than when people dont follow up ( which happens too frequently ) with the result which could help others at some stage in the future.
