Radeon X700 SE

[Jon1959]

I was wondering if anyone could throw some light on this as I am having a lot of problems

I have in my system this card;

Radeon X700 SE
Radeon X700 SE Secondary

When I first tried using this it used to work fine but recenlty i stalls the PC this acrd also use to let me watch the TV on my PC but dosent do that any more. I rang the people that made the PC and their a Big company I also paid for 2 years extar of the PC as well, well these days you never know.

This card is 128 Mgs and the games are only asking for 64 mgs card to run them, so I thought this was a little strange to say the least. I rang their call centre but everytime I ring them they say their PC's are down. I did everything that said took the game software off relaoded it all took off the ATI sofeware relaoded it all again and still the same thing happens.

I know that on the mother baord I have it has onbaord grajpics which is running the PC at the momment hence me being abled to type this out. But when I got a micosaoft message come up it said your video card is no longer acepting comands from the PC i got a little worried. What I think has happend and I dont know if this is right can a card like this break down bit by bit, I mean 1st the game graphics went and the next the TV side of it went?.

I also asked them why that on the system ifo why it has to names for the same card? they said thats just the way it is, Is this right as well?

can anyone comment on this?
