Installing certain applications or the wrong drivers can cause your video adapter to malfunction. To correct the displayed errors, several procedures must be performed.
It is necessary
Riva Tuner
Instructions
Step 1
If you have access to the operating system, then reinstall the video card drivers. Download the latest software version from the manufacturer's official website. The most popular video adapters are manufactured by ATI (www.ati.com) and nvidia (www.nvidia.ru).
Step 2
Install the required software and restart your computer. Make sure the video adapter is working properly. If you cannot load the operating system, then try the described algorithm using Windows Safe Mode. Restart your computer and hold down the F8 key. Select the "Windows Safe Mode" boot option after opening the appropriate menu.
Step 3
If the errors in the operation of the video card are not related to the drivers, then use the Riva Tuner program. Install and run this utility. Click the Home tab and click the Customize button located in the Driver Settings submenu. Select the System Preferences option.
Step 4
Find two fields: "Core frequency" and "Memory frequency". Decrease both frequencies. First change the values to 50 MHz. Click the "Test" button and wait until the analysis of the stability of the video adapter is completed. If errors were found during the check, then reduce the frequencies by another 50 MHz. Follow this procedure until the device is stable.
Step 5
Remember that this process will slow down your video card. Naturally, it is extremely dangerous to use a faulty device, so it is better to sacrifice performance. Check the box next to Load settings from Windows and click Save. Reboot your computer. If you failed to configure the video card for stable operation, replace the device to prevent damage to the motherboard.
