Video Card Driver problems

[Pesmerga]

alright well i got my new hard drive and im trying to now install my videocard like i have the first time i download the drivers for it but its just not working..and i cant figure out what the hells the problem but its really bothering me..iv checked all connections time and time again.


Radeon X800 GTO is the card. XP is the OS. i went to radeon site for driver i went to sapphiretech.com for drivers and iv let windows update it. nothing is working

Try updating all your motherboard drivers? I've been having video problems lately myself, and doing that was the only thing that did any good.

intresting..i guess now i just need to refigure out what my board is lol
any site that can give me the exact?

 

[Mr.Wonko]

I used a program called Everest to get the model information, then I think I just googled it and found the right files. Any kind of program that gives you detailed system information should be able to tell you what you need.

update your chipset, then install the drivers.

usually the ones on the cd you get are pretty outdated, so get them directly from the site.
