Radeon graphics card
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I have a Sony Vaio RX-550 with Win. XP installed. I had a Radeon 9000 pro graphics card installed untill recently when I installed a 160gb hard drive and updated my bio's. My problem is when I was done and started my computer up and when it was at the windows start up my screen had blue boxes all over the screen and when it was done loading my screen was green and very distorted. I tried using updated drivers for the card and for the intel chip but nothing worked so I had to put the original card back in which is the Nvidia RivaTNT which uses the AGP slot and it works fine. Anyone have any suggestions that I'm missing to look for? Also the Radeon card worked fine before I done the upgrades.

Do you have SP1 (service pack 1) installed with your XP, could help a lot with the new Bios.

Guess I should have given more info. Reinstallation of XP went great and I have sp1 installed. Even tried installing intel's application accelerator and the inf file for the chip and the driver. As far as I can tell everything works great on my computer except for the Radeon card. Thanks to everyone that is repling to my question it is greatly appreciated.

try reflashing the bios. wander through it afterwards and look for anything funny in the graphics department. also try reinstalling the last 2 versions of drivers. might want to check that power supply too. the new drive pulls more. and check that the fan on the card works, and the pci slot underneath it is free.
