ATI Sapphire X1900 Graphics

Posted: 02-02-2007, 02:49 PM
Hi
I have just bought ATI's Sapphire X1900 256MB for my PC. I have got Vista
Ultimate installed and Vista detected the graphics and installed with no
problems until it needed to reboot. It gets to the green bar going across
the screen and then I get a black screen with the message ''No Signal
Detected''

Its fine with Safe Mode but you cant play any games via Safe Mode. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks
Alan

Are you using the included Vista drivers, the ones that came with the card
or the latest catalyst drivers from ATI?

If you are using the card's drivers, don't. If you are using Vista's, try
the ATI ones; likewise, if you are using the ATI ones, try Vista's.

I'm using the same graphics card.

Running Vista Home Premium 64-Bit.

I downloaded the ATI 64 bit drivers and have had no problems.

Hope this helps.

Hi SP
What type of Vista are you running off? 32Bit or 64 Bit.
Thanks
Alan

64-bit I got the 64-bit ATI x1900 drivers from the AMD/ATI web site.
Installed clean. The ATI CCC is different than the 32-bit XP drivers that I
had been using.

FWIW, I'm running a HIS X1900XTX with the 32bit Vista. I'm using the 7.1
drivers from the website. For the most part, most all the games runs fine. I
think you must just have a corrupt driver issue. I'd try removing the
drivers and letting the Microsoft drivers load. Then upgrade again, using
the ATI 7.1 drivers (Ver 833).

Might fiddle around with the CCC and see if there are any settings that
don't look right.
