ATI graphics card problem...
SpitfireIV
Hi,
I'm not very knowledgable about computers, maybe its a simple fix, but I cant sort it and hope someone here can help me.
My Toshiba laptop has an ATI mobility Radeon 7000 IGP card and until lately, what would happen is, the computer would freeze, then all of a sudden I'd get a message saying the graphics drivers has failed and I should reboot, at that all the graphics on the computer would go, the icon would get massive, pictures scattered etc etc. Upon restart I was told that to fix the problem I'd have to download updates for the driver, which I did. And even now, the graphics are still 'bitty' you can see all the pixels in them and the colours dont blend, they are solid blocks of color etc, as well as watching DVD's etc, everything is blocky and its annoying.
Any advice or help to get things back to the way they were? A system restore doesnt help and I tried re-installing the graphics card to no avail.
Many thanks,

Make sure before you install new drivers to completely uninstall the old ones then reinstall.
If still no difference then the card is gone. Most of the time when you get artifacts in game/dvd its the gfx card on its last legs. Which tbh, means the end of the lappy as well.....
