Windows 7: XFX HD Radeon 5770 video card.

Phataj · 25 Nov 2010

I have a XFX HD Radeon 5770 video card.
When I installed it, it was running all of my games smoothly, such World of Warcraft in Ultra graphics, Bad company 2 in Ultra graphics, and COD black ops in Ultra graphics. But now it keeps making this sound, like when you first plug a hardware device in it makes a sound to tell that it just plugged in, and same for when you take the hardware deivce out it makes a sound, but this is happening to my video card, but no connections are loose and all drivers updated... Im lost guys any tips please, would be much appreciated.

Phataj:

This sounds like a driver issue to me.
Open Device Manager and check the status of 'Display Adapters'.
You can get there by opening: Control Panel/System/Device Manager

I all is OK there (ie, no little yellow warning triangles) then it is odd.
But I am still leaning towards a faulty/corrupt driver installation.

ATI has an official Driver Removal Tool on their website; it is supposed to completely remove any remnants of their drivers from your system.

I would use this tool, then do a clean install of the latest drivers available for your graphics card.

This may or may not help, but it can't hurt, either.
If you continue to have problems, post back here and I'm sure someone smarter than me can help you.

Happy Thanksgiving and Welcome to SF - a Great Place to be...
