Ati Video freezes sp2 pc
I am having a similar problem with the latest ATI driver. Try rolling the
ATI driver back a version or two. "Sean G." wrote: Ok, I went through everything in uninstalling and reinstalling. Everytime the ati driver is enabled and I boot up the pc will freeze on the XP splash screen. Any other suggestions?

I thought it did, but now I am not too sure. It always gets into safe mode fine, and the only thing I do to make it work in normal mode is disable the ati video card driver, not the actual card. When running off of the xp video driver it works (it is choppy but it works none the less). But the minute I enable the ATI video driver it freezes on boot up. I thought an ati video driver update would work but it didn't. -Sean -----Original Message----- Did it ever work correctly AFTER the SP2 installation? What do you mean by disabling the graphics card? Do you have onboard graphics as well (which are usually disabled in the BIOS) or do you mean it halts at the file AGP440.sys when you try to boot up in Safe Mode. -- Cari (MS-MVP Printing, Imaging & Hardware) www.coribright.com "Sean G." wrote in message .. . Hello, I installed sp2 about 2 weeks ago, however, recently whenever my pc boots it freezes on the logo screen. I narrowed it down to the video card, for when it is disabled it boots fine. It is a ATI radeon 8500, I updated the driver with the new one released on the 14th of August but that didn't fix it. Does anybody have any ideas???!?!?! Thanks, Sean . . |

Ati Video freezes sp2 pc
I am having the same problem. Nothing prompted the problem, no new updates
downloaded, no new games. The computer just started freezing on the flash screen. I did a complete reinstall of Windows XP, only to find that it was the ATI mobile Radeon 9700 driver causing the problem. I've tried older versions and tried the 9800 version, but the only thing that works is completely uninstalling or disabling the driver. Could it be that the actual video card is damaged. I can play DVD's and other video, but now it looks choppy working with just the Windows driver. Anybody have any answers? "jbwitt" wrote: I am having a similar problem with the latest ATI driver.
