Did you completely uninstall the previous video drivers? What did you update from?

Welcome to the forum

Make sure as said above that you have uninstalled the old drivers completely and that you installed the latest drivers from the ati site, if not they can be downloaded HERE

also go to your ati display properties (Control Pannel > Display > Settings > Advanced) then go to Overdrive and check the cards temperature.

yeah i uninstalled my previous drivers for my geforce fx5200 before installing this card. my overdrive says the temperature is 45 degrees. but i dont know when i go into a game if it rises or not. should i turn off overdrive ??
