Problems with new video card

Hi,

My HP computer came with an Integrated Intel card, and I've just upgraded to an ATI Radeon 9200se, but I'm having a couple of problems. When I booted up my computer with the video card in for the first time, it identified it and I installed the video drivers that were on the CD I got with the card. After they were installed, I restarted my computer, and for some reason it identified the video card again, and now this is what it looks like on my device manager: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/banginkneesong/photos/devicemanager.jpg

And both of them are listed as "enabled ". Is it supposed to look like that? Also, the video card I installed is an ATI Radeon 9200se... but in dxdiag it says it's a Radeon 9200 Pro. Is that wrong? Did I install the wrong drivers or something? I don't even notice any huge differences in how the "graphics" on my computer look.

The bigger problem I'm having is that I'm now hearing a high pitched squeak-like sound coming from the monitor. It has nothing to do with the volume, because I hear it no matter where the volume is at. I used to have this a little tiny bit using my old video card, but now it's REALLY high. When I use the scrollbar in web pages or programs, or when I open/minimize/maximize a new window, I hear it the loudest, and it's so annoying I can barely stand to hear it. And when I try to play a new video game I just got, I hear it loud and NON-STOP and it's the most annoying thing.

This is really frustrating, does anyone know what could be going on?

Thanks.

 

Check you manual for steps to install video card, looking for instructions to turn off the on-board video. Usually done in the BIOS setup program accessed during boot.

 

Thanks for the responses!

Alright, here's what I've done now... I uninstalled the old drivers I installed for the Radeon, downloaded the up-to-date drivers from ATI's web site, and installed those (but I haven't restarted yet, so I'm on the default video card now). But now in device manager it lists "Radeon 9250" and "Radeon 9250 - Secondary" even though it's an ATI Radeon 9200se card. Is that alright? It never asked me to choose which version I had or anything, that's just what it installed.

Also in device manager, it lists "PCI bus 1" for both, even though it's an AGP card installed in the AGP drive. I went into the Bios, but I'm not sure what to do, so I just exited without saving. Beside the entry for the video card, it lists it as using PCI. The option to change it to is "AGP/onboard "... that confuses me, because aren't I supposed to be disabling the onboard video card by switching it to AGP? What should I set it as? My manual that came with my computer isn't very detailed and it doesn't tell me how to do this.

 

Yeah, I'm on XP and that's the driver I downloaded, so I guess it should be ok.

Well, what I'm trying to fix now is the buzzing sound that my monitor makes whenever I move anything on the screen. It's not happening now since I'm using the default video controller (or whatever that's called), but it was doing it when the Radeon card was enabled. I think it might be my onboard video card interferring with it. I disabled my integrated video card through Device Manager before I put the new one in, but maybe I need to do something more. I went into Bios by pressing F1 when the blue HP screen came up on startup, and it listed "PCI" for the video card. There was an AGP option but it said "AGP/onboard" instead of just "AGP "... I'm not sure if I should set it as that or not.

 

Monitor Buzz

Hi: Had the same buzzing issue with a monitor a short time ago, a highly irritating buzz that happened whenever I moved my cursor. I was able to get rid of it(for a while) by altering my refresh rate and screen resolution. There were no changes to my hardware prior to the noise starting.
When you switched to the on-board video from the Radeon card were the settings the same?
I ended up buying a new monitor as the buzzing would return after a few days no matter what settings I was using. If you have another monitor available to use try setting up your system so that the noise occurs and then switch them.

 

I made the buzzing stop for a while, but I have no idea how, and it came back. What I did was go to the ATI Control Panel and everywhere I saw a setting for the refresh rate (which was about 4 places), I set it to 60 hertz. Then I restarted. The screen looked a little squished, so I fixed that with the monitor settings, and everything looked fine and there was no buzzing. When I checked in Device Manager and Display, it listed it as using the "Default Monitor ", and there were two entries for "Default Monitor ", plus my HP mx70. It used to just list the HP mx70. I wasn't sure why it was listing those, so I restarted to see if they would permanently be there, and when I checked again, "Default Monitor" was gone and it was back to listing just the HP mx70, and the buzzing was back. So does this mean the monitor is the problem? I disabled the ATI drivers and right now I'm on the generic video driver, and there is no buzzing. Is it possible the new card is too much for the monitor to handle? I hear the buzzing a little, tiny, unnoticable ammount with the integrated card, but it just goes insane with the ATI Radeon card.

The only other monitor I have to test my computer with is a Compaq monitor that's about as old as my current HP monitor, but it was only ever used for about 3-4 months. Would I just plug that in, and it would be able to work, or are there drivers I would need to download for it first? I just don't wanna plug it in and end up with a blank screen.

Thanks for the help.
