Answer
that sounds exactly like my computer. your computer is still using onboard video memory. if you have the same motherboard as me then chances are you only have a PCI-E X1 connection for upgrading video. there is only one video card that fits ,the Radeon X1300, it has 128mb memory onboard and 512mb hypermemory. it's still a pretty good card.

Video card problems.?

REAL music

Hi, I've gotten a few problems on my PC lately. It started when my PC crashed 5 days ago. I had to reinstall my OS, but when I was done doing that I noticed my screen was messed up and my sound was not working.
I have fixed the sound problem (downloaded RealTek AC97), however there is a problem with my video card. Ever since my PC crashed whenever I scroll down a page, for example, it takes really long for the screen to refresh. I have never had this problem before.
I scanned my PC and these are the results:

Could anyone please help me? Thanks in advance. I really don't know what to do.

Answer
Your scan indicates you are using the generic VGA driver that is the most basic of use. Good news is your video card is working, bad news is that you don't have the correct driver for it. If you video card is a stand alone card, meaning it is a separate card installed in a slot on your system board, you can physically look at it and obtain the model and make of it. Then go to the manufacturer website and download a driver. If it is an onboard card, meaning it is part of the system board, you can go to the manufacturer of the board and get the video driver from them.
