Grapgics card problem

[awelsh]

Right heres the deal :P

Just got a new graphics card because the old one burnt out.

New one is an ATI Radeon HD 2400 AGP

Works fine normally however when I go to play a game in full screen the drivers seem to lockup as the VPU Recovery then resets the cards resolution etc

Ive tried updating drivers and it told me im already on the newest ones.

Pretty annoying problem as I only bought it today and it cost me £50 :(

Any ideas? thanks

Just that you specifically said 'full screen'. I doubt it will be any different in windowed mode. What version drivers are you running?

What temperature is it running at and does it need any external power?

Doesn't need external poer I don't think, its got a 4 pin plug plugged into it for the fan and thats it.

Temperature guage says 36 last time I checked I think

Ive also tried the omega drivers for the card as I searched around and people said to try them, still no luck :(

I might resort to going to pc world and getting them to do it :(

The people on this forum are way more knowledgeable than pc world, And pc world will just rip you off.

I know, thats why I posted here :P

I bought the card from a local store, but I was at my dads when I bought it, so the store is now 60 odd miles away so I can't take it back there for them to have a look :(

could it be a problem with my AGP port?

The last card (Nvidia geforce 4400SE) burnt out and was left in for afew weeks without us knowing it was burnt. When we took it in they told us and showed us the card because we though it had just rusted, but apparently thats where the card had swollen and burnt out.

EDIT: the new card does need external power, which I have connected up to it, so it should be running fine.

That will have been your problem then!

What wil have been :S

The 4 pin plug was always in there, I just checked now and the fan on the card is spinning too, so it must be fine.

Its the drivers I think :S

Indeed I did, did fresh install of XP before putting new card in there too.
