GFX Card Probs, maybe????

[dog420]

Right i have a shitty ATi Radeon 9250 256mb. On a Abit A17 GURU motherboard.

The card is a good few years old now.

Recentley when ive been playing online gaming the pc starts to beeb slowly then after a while it starts beeping like crazy :eek:

When i shut the game down it suddenly stops! So its gotta be a the GFX Card right? Anyone had this or know of this problem? :confused:

Any suggestions will be very greatful. But im sure its my card, i could be wrong!

Peace

Take your pc to a profesional shop that will fix it for you? that seem's like the best way to go around it if you ask me.

no way man! i refuse to give maoney to a guy who can do anything that i cant do. i built this pc from scratch, ive built every pc ive eva worked with

Just that ive never had this problem before. I mean after i stop this annoying beeping i touch the card to find it fucking hot :eek: so i needs to go buy a new card?

Peace

I dunno lol... Im not gonna try and give any advice because then i might make you do something like blow your whole pc up.... lol... But yeah, mybe you do need a new one, and if its an old card anyway you can always buy a nice new more powerfull graphics card to look forward to :D

what kinda game are you trying to play? and it could be, i have a radeon 9200 in my comp too, if it's a newer game, then there's a good chance that your overloading your video card, becasue the game's graphics/other shit are too complex for the card to handle.

9200 is quite a few years old, even if it isn't the video card, still not a bad idea to upgrade the card... if you got the money to afford to do so, i'd suggest just go ahead and upgrading, and seeing if that helps.. if not...

bf 2 is a pretty big one. I had that on my pc and my graphics card and video is proberly a few years out of date, took like full 5 min's to load and shit. Haha, now all i play on my pc is counter strike 1.6... I use my pc for music more these days.

yea.. you probably need a new card... even new, you're pushing the radeon pretty much to it's max with BF2....

[dog420]
