Hi,

Can anyone help the problem is my comp keeps losing my graphic card drivers on startup ( not all the time ). then i have to uninstall the graphic card restart the pc so it finds the drivers again then restart again to finalise, then 9 times out of 10 the next time i restart i have to do all this again.
Does anyone know if it's the comp board or the graphic card or the drivers or............

Radeon x700

thx

i presume your O/S is XP, download new drivers, unistall the gfx drivers set it to use "standard VGA res = 640 x 480 & 256 colours, reboot & install the new drivers
 
Thx Donkey42,
when you say download new drivers you mean don't use the driver disc that came with the card,
how do i get it to use standard vga,

thx in advance

This is what it says mostly everytime i restart my pc

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). It does'nt always do this only on occasions, i keep reloading drivers off disc which came with it .
 
drivers on CD's that come with hardware dont always work, download them to anther pc and then burn them to CD, to set Standard VGA start pc in safe mode <start - settings - control panel> then dbl click "Display" select the settings tab, then click "Advanced" select adapter tab & click "Change" then click "Choose location (advanced) then click "Display list" then select "Standard PCI" and click next and clicking next until your pc reboots, when you reboot your pc should detect new hardware click cancel then in explorer navigate to the CD you burnt and run setup.exe / install.exe
