hi guys, i need help on fixing my pc. I keep getting the blue screen of death whenever i play a game. This started to happen about a couple of months ago, and before, it was working fine. I think this is because i have installed a new video card into my computer. For the people who are curious, its a ATI Radeon X1600 series. Its seriously starting to get on my nerves. Can someone help me out. This is what my screen looks like.
What version of Catalyst are you using, and what's the exact name of the card? (I ask because I saw something like this on the tech support pages of ATI.)
EDIT: The site talks about the Radeon 1600/1650 Pro HDMI card with Catalyst 7.4. Is this what you have?

I have the X1600 pro series but it does not include an HDMI card. I am not sure what version of catalyst i have but the name of my card is just RADEON X1600 SERIES
Just to let you know, i have tried literally everything except removing my video card. I even re-formatted windows but it still shows the screen. I think if i take out the video card, it shouldn't show it. BUT, the screen only pops up when i play a game, so its probably an issue with the video card.
IRQ issues. Try moving around any expansion cards you have, or even switching USB ports for any USB devices you have.RayvinAzn
I had this problem too. I had a network card that I installed drivers for. If I took ou thte expansion card but didn't remove its drivers would I get this problem?

i had this problem with my old 6800gt while playing SAMP (gta multiplayer), turns out the drivers were bad. try to find new drivers from the ATI website, if it still happens, look for older drivers and try them out.

Yes, i agree, but you see, i dont really think its the drivers that are the problem. I think its the video card. I mean, i even updated my driver, and it still happened. Im not sure whats going on?
Does this happen in all games or just one game? What are your other specs?Trilvester
This happened to mostly all of the games i played. My specs are, 2.08ghz clock-speed, 1280 mb ram, 120gb hardrive, and an ATI Radeon X1600 series graphics card
I remember once I used to have that problem as well and what was wrong was my graphic card was faulty and so I took it out and sent it back and got the new one and now everything is fine.
Mine too would come up with the blue screen when ever I got into a game and it would tellme the same thing. Except mine kept on telling me that it was dumping virtual mem and so I had no idea what to do. I forget what I did but it was no big deal.
