My video card makes my screen blink sometimes?

I have an ATI Radeon X1950 Pro and my card has been messing up. After about 5 minutes of play, my display will start blinking every 10 or so seconds and eventually, it crashes. When I go to download the Drivers, apparently they are all only 64 bit drivers. What can I do to fix this problem?|||XP: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/wi…

Those are the latest 32bit drivers. Right side of Screen, OLDER drivers is where I suggest going and getting something from 6-10 months back, just to make sure its not the latest drivers screwing you over.



Sounds like it could be two things, HEAT or Power issues. If you have said ARTIFACTING prior, then its memory and the card is bad.



Clean the inside of the computer with compressed Air in a Can, not an Air compressor. Try and remove dust which will store heat.



If you have a program that can monitor FAN speeds for the GPU, I would check that also and the voltages.





A quick check for a bad card, drop it in a friends computer and see if you can reproduce the issue. If not, and using the same drivers, I would go to the PSU.





Also, try a different game. It could be the game itself is needing a patch.|||Obviously your drivers are malfunctioning. You can perform these quick steps to fix this problem:
