When I got the information correctly, the ATI Radeon 7200 is a 64 MB video card, but why does the driver information say it has only 32 MBs of RAM (I ran a Google search about that video card) ? EDIT: There are mentioned both 32 and 64 MB. I assume you have 32 MBs of RAM ? You didn't say how much of system RAM you have ? That plays a major role for nearly all components and all software on the computer. I think the card is overpowered for your machine, maybe the mainboard doesn't support it fully. I'm (not too much longer fortunately ) running on a low PII machine with 128 MB SD-RAM and some 8 MB onboard-crap, but never would dare even to install a 32 MB card - despite the fact the machine would have problems to handle that video card, I doubt the mainboard might be able use its powers in a good way. Updating your BIOS _might_ help, but I DON'T recommend it, because first of all it is hard to find a current version for older machines and second a failed flashing procedure corrupts the BIOS, so the computer will be unusuable.

I have the same video card, but it has 128MB and it works fine for me. Maybe you should deinstall the driver, reboot and than reinstall it. If it doesn't work, than I would suggest to look after your settings, because they can be wrong. |

My system is a Gateway computer over three years old, 433Mhz 192MB of ram 10 gig hard drive Windows XP home edition. The ATI video card works well for about 5 to 7 minutes top than the screen will get fuzzy and start to flicker the monitors setting will POP up and say the video card is out frequency it tried to drop the settings down to what it wanted it down to but it couldn't because the video card was having a fit and turned it self off for about ten minutes.(aint life grand....?) anyway, so after the video card came back on I had to use the onboard graphics card to be able to use my monitor. is there any other advice you could give me to be able yo solve this problem ?

Yeah, get a new monitor. Sounds to me like that one's going bad, judging from the "screen will get fuzzy and start to flicker" part. | |||

I'd have to agree; 33hz is a horrible refresh rate, I wouldn't expect it to actually do that. |
