radeon 9200 series Graphics Card Problem

[denn]

Can any one help
This has got to the stage where I am going to dicard this card,
Its a radeon 9200 series 128mb,
I have contacted the manufacturer with no success, downloaded all the up to date drivers, changed my monitor settings .. the list continues
the problem is when I play games , Doom half Life Medal of Honour, ( by the way the PC is a 1.6 Ghz with 500 + of ram these games worked fine on Win 2000 but on XP there`s a problem) this being that the graphics flicker and you can see behind certain images, not explained very well I know but the images flicker on and off in like triangle blocks so if you looking at say a wall , the wall is there but it flickers to black triangles.. if anyone can understand waht I`m saying maybe they could advise
Thanks

I'm asuming you have Cats 5.12.
Does the card have a heatsink and a fan? If it does, is the fan working correctly?

If it is, then you've got a bugged GPU, see if you can get it replaced.

Thanks
has a heatsink but no fan
Bugged GPU .. I assume you mean its Knackered

It's either overheating, or it's as you said.

Hah! Knackered! I like that. Don't throw that beast away. Not yet. It could be a system problem. But there is probably some poor sap on here who would love to try to figure it out. Maybe like me. Seriously, how's your system stability with with Windows XP. A lot of errors will show up under Windows XP that wouldn't under, say, Windows 98SE.

stability on XP and all other Windows is OK
the problem is just with the games only

Try opening the case and have a blower cool the card. If the problem persists then the card is faulty - not sure wether the Gpu or the memory...

Hey this problem used to be there for one of my friends too. He had a Jetway Radeon 9200SE and this problem used to be there for him in Doom 3 too. But he says it only started from him after he first exited Hell. And it was only in Doom 3. Half Life 2 worked fine for him. Just so u would know.....
