This maybe shouldn't go here but i just need to ask is a ATI radean 9800xt better then a invida 6200GT? because i dunno what to replace the the old card with or just put in another 6200 as cards like those are so much cheaper now then when i got the card so maybe i could get a better one.

Well i removed the ATI folders because they wasn't any invidia ones and i also went to control panel and removed the ATI drivers and anything else ATI, but i still got a ATI message when i got to the desktop. Im only using the 6200 card and yes im still getting the blank screen. I connected my moniter too my laptop and the moniter is 100% fine so i think the card has had it so im going to get another card and try that, nothing expenvise just to see if that will work.

So how do i install these if my screen keeps going blank. Also what do u mean using different cards im only using the 6200 so why would i need the ATI driver and why is it doing this now after 4 years. In the past even when i wiped the hard drive all i did was installed the driver from the CD and it was running 100% fine so why not now?

Ok i did what u said but there wasn't any invidia drivers or folders only ATI so i removed the driver and the ATI folders and restarted the PC. I then downloaded and install the driver you said too and restarted the PC when it asked me too it happened again the screen keeps going blank then ok then blank and when it eventually get to the windows desktop its even worse and it still keep going back and forth between that and going black.

I tryed to installed a driver from invidia which i thought was the latest driver GeForce Release 178 But when i installed this my screen kept going blank then it was fine then blank then fine and it kept doing this non-stop, so i had to wipe the drive again.

what link? didn't know there was one sorry.

Hi, ok i was playing guild wars one morning when my game frooze and my computer crashed restarted gave me a blue screen for like half a second then restarted again. I could only get into windows via safe mode. I tryed wiping the hard drive and rsinstalling window like 5 times but all i get is a 640 x 480 res . I then tryed reintalling the video cards drivers from the disk which normally solves this problem, but then i get the whole restarting + blue screen thing all over again. I tryed taking out the video card(GF 6200) and putting the one that came with the computer(ATI radeon 9250SE) and all i get is a blank screen so i had to put the 6200 back in again. I also went to device manager and my 6200 doesn't even show up all i have is "other devices" and under that controller VGA compatible, which i might add everytime i load windows desktop i need new new hardware notice coming up with something about this VGA thing. BTW this computer is like 4 years old and so is the 6200, using it because my laptop is being fixed, so maybe it's just an age thing.
