    Amaze ATI Radeon HD 3650


    im having problem with ati radeon hd 3650. when i install this card in win 7 it asks for restart and when i restart my pc it stalls just after the windows logo starts shinning when its loading. The manufacturers cd i got doesnt have drivers for ati radeon hd 3650 so i just installed the 3600 series driver i think thats what caused the problem but that driver worked fine for me in win xp. my mother board is a Aopen mx46L + i also have a on-board graphics adapter sis 650 but i doubt that would be causing any problems. any help would be appreciated guys thnx.
    its AGP btw.

    MUSHRAN, welcome to the Seven Forums.

    AGP video card drivers will not install or work properly without a work AGP/GART driver (part of the chipset), that is also why you had no problems with it in XP. You have to remember with the exception of the video card, the motherboard and likely the CPU probably came out even before XP did.

    Now with that said go here,

    and down load the SiS AGP/GART driver. Before installing check in Programs and Features and if the ATI driver is showing, uninstall it. Now install the AGP driver likely needing to use compatibility mode to get it to install,

    Compatibility Mode

    Once installed run Windows Update and there should be an update showing for the AGP driver, if there is install it. Now you should be able to install the driver for the card,

    It is part of the chipset drivers and without a properly working one the drivers for an AGP video card either won't install, or if the do install the card will not work correctly.
