i went to play a game (well my dad) Playboy Mansion (i don't like it personally) but started the game but the gra[hics is all weird all really whitish and can't see anything. i was wondering if my video/graphics has died. i have a RADEON 9200SE and i have a ATi thing in the system tray which has something to do with the monitor.

Everything for the system requirements is fine. But i'm not sure about ATi Radeon,

i think mine is fine. 9200SE the game says 7500 or greater.

Any help?

well i don't think it has died because i wouldn't be able to see anything.

i was going to post in a screenshot but when i pasted it in paint it came out perfectly but the game itself won't show the way it supposed to be. I'm stumped.

Did you try uninstalling and then reinstalling the game?
Regards,
John

yes, but the same. very strange don't display while playing but take a screen shot and perfect pictures pasted into paint. Windows and everything else is fine.

Dear Izzy,

This happened to me while I was playing doom 3.

This is how I fixed it:

1. Got a new hard drive cable. A good one not cheap.

2. Added a Vantec fan card for extra cooling to my vid card.

3. Replaced power supply to Antec 550 watt.

4. Download updated drivers for vid card.

ATI and ASUS both said to replace power supply. I didn't believe them but after I did the above my game worked.

ATI also mentioned that heat plays a big factor. Since then I have been on a mission to cool a extreme gamers computer properly.

Do you have FryCry...the game? Try playing that and see if the same happens. I use FryCry to test my vid cards. The game really puts vid cards to the grind.

Let us know,

i haven't got frycry.

i used my recovery CD and has fixed the problem so it's back to factory shipped state so i have everything back on now.

Dear Izzy,

Good. And you didn't have to spend a dime.

Although, everything I told you was a true event.

It just goes to tell you, try the simple fix first.

Take care,

junkdk

sure it was true just every computer are different in there way.
i know i could have fixed it quicker than 40 minutes i suppoese but it was easier for me if it don't work then i would knoe i need a new graphics.
