Hi all, I installed a new video card (FireGL 5600) to correct big-time video problems with CAD software, but now it's worse than ever. Pixels gradually get more and more corrupt, until the screen is either illegible, or the machine just quits. I've tried every level of hardware acceleration, to no avail. I've also tried every version of the driver (current version is 8.583.0.0, which I believe is the most recent), but no love there either. As far as I know, all drivers and the BIOS are all up to date.
A likely related matter is a phantom PCI device on my system that Windows (XP SP2) does not recognize, and says there is no driver for. Device Manager says it is in Slot 1. This happens to be where my video card is physically installed (I checked - it's there), which is _also_ listed in Device Manager as being in PCI slot 1. Weirder still, the instance ID is: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_AA08&SUBSYS_AA081002&REV_00\4&1E8CFE9A&0&0120 I don't know about the junk at the end, but I'm pretty sure VEN_1002 is ATI. So... shouldn't this be my EFFING VIDEO CARD?? Disabling/ uninstalling the unknown device doesn't help (it just reappears after the next crash). Does anybody know what I can do?
