Graphics card problem - can't get past windows login
Another graphics card problem sorry, I’ve tried searching for help over the net but can only find symptoms similar to my problem.
I recently bought a Radeon 9550 128mb card for my pc to get it capable of playing guild wars a bit, but after installing the card and drivers my computer wouldn’t boot past the windows xp accounts logon screen whenever I clicked on my account It'd crash, the screen would go black but the harddrive would continue working and I’d have to turn it off at the plug.
But after a few attempted logins it randomly worked and logged me in and worked just fine. I restarted again to check the problem and it logged me in a gain but it crashed after a few minutes and the original problem continued.
I've removed the card and i'm currently using the onboard graphics system and my computer works fine.
If anyone could help me work out the problem i'd very much appreciate it as i'm looking forward to playing Guild Wars.
I'm not very good with computers though so it may be a simple problem.
My system specs (it's a crappy big store type) are:
windows xp home edition - service pack 1
AMD Athlon XP 2700+
512 MB RAM
Motherboard: AM39L (First International Computers inc)
The card i tried to install was an: ATI Radeon 9550 128MB DDR AGP.
Any help would be really appreciated as I only picked up broadband recently and would like to try an online game.
Sorry to add yet another graphics card issue and thanks in advance.
