I'm afraid you might have to buy a new graphics card.  From what I've heard NVIDIA has a higher frame rate.

From what I've heard you don't know what you're talking about.

DOHOHO! i brought my dad into it, long story short the update is installed.
I'd be quite surprised if it worked.
Did it?

What the forget, there's so much derp in that sentence.
Please, for the love of god, people, don't try to help if you don't know stuff. You'll only cause problems for everyone.

well i haven't been seeing the static lines.

i have no idea if it'll still randomly sleep mode on me though.

'Static lines' and weird colorful objects seen, especially while gaming, are called Artifacts. They are most likely a GPU seriously overheating, or dying.
They are also seen when someone overclocks their GPU too much for the card to handle.

hmm. i'll bring that up. I'm happy i have the same first name as you, ethan. :D
No, your name is Kade. :D


My old monitor used to go to sleep a lot.

My parents threw it out because of that and now I am pissed.

ok i have some more description. it's got an error message and part of another. i can get the full other one but i'll have to restart.

 Ignore the last little sentence, that was to the clan.
so my computer has been revealing one problem after another. first the computer would crash and go into power save mode when i played any games, then after fixing it, making it not able to switch to power save mode, it revealed an error. "display driver atikmdag stopped responding and has successfully recovered". I looked it up, and it showed a bunch of things i could do to stop it. none of it worked. that is the main problem, but we had a couple more. such as my registry cleaner found 347 errors (wowe) and my audio stopped playing. fixed both of those, but can not solve the error. there is also another strange one popping up when i boot up that says " 'MOM.implementation" followed by some computer jibberish i have to restart to write down.

long story short, i can not play any games without crashing and i need to get it fixed. my dad is thinking about contacting best buy or something to ask them about it because he severely distrusts people on the internet, due to a virus my sisters got from a fake virus scan.

so um i may not be able to help much with anything, sorry for the inconvenience and stuff.

You're going to want to wipe all of your current display drivers. HOWEVER. BEFORE YOU START THIS: I want you to post EXACTLY what operating system you have, e.g Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Once I have replied with the proper driver link, you will carry on below:

You'll want to use the uninstall tool (any one, if the one that comes with Catalyst Control Center doesn't work then try the one in Add/Remove Programs) then you want to follow the instructions below:

Quote
My solution was to clear out the Windows GAC (Global Assembly Cache). In Windows 7, you can browse directly to "C:\Windows\assembly". Sort by "Public Key Token", then delete everything with the Token "90ba9c70f846762e" (ATI's key). You'll obviously need Administrator privileges. No reboot needed either. Reinstalled CCC and it ran perfectly!

The GAC lets you share DLL's that are the same version number. If it's in the GAC, any installer will NOT install a new DLL - it'll use the one in the GAC. If the GAC DLL is corrupted, you're majorly SOL.

When I reinstalled the CCC, it took longer to install then it had before. Presumably, this was due to the installer copying all the correct DLL's to my hard drive. And no ATI DLL's have made it back into my GAC.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium. 32 bit.

oh also, the driver update thing? yeah. it installed but didn't fix anything.

and AAALLSSOO. it seems my computer is rated a 3.5 in system. i thought this thing was a pretty good computer.

You are always so helpful. but I'll have to bring this up with my dad, he'll be pretty mad if i just do it.

Driver update =/= clean driver install.
Programs always leave things behind.

Alright. Here is the latest driver package. You want to install the top one on the list, but only after you have finished the complete uninstall method shown in my other post.

(other than zackin, but he didn't exactly link me the page like you. yes this is a thank you zackin5)
