ATI & NVIDIA on the same computer
Hello,
I register on this site for the following reason:
At the beginning of the year I got a new computer. I got a GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard. I am running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, 4Gigs of RAM, AMD Phenom II X4 965 black edition, and Ultra 650 power supply. I have a video card, Geforce 220 GT and I have it hooked up to 47 inch Vizio HDTV.
My first question – is it a good idea to have this video card with this motherboard? The chipset drivers for the motherboard are ATI and obviously the video card NVIDIA. Can this only cause trouble?
Second question – It maybe a sign of what could be the two drivers being on the same machine. When I am watching movies, I can see during the playback, some flickering on the video. It’s a horizontal line, either on the top part of the screen or the bottom part.
I have the latest drivers from NVIDIA. The onboard video is disabled on the BIOS.
Sometimes, when I leave the computer locked and walk away, come back say 10 minutes later, I try to log in and the screen goes black I can see text, it’s white but I have to cold boot the computer to get it working right again, the video that is. The resolution that I currently have is 1920 X 1080 at 24hertz. Is this a good resolution to have it at? Would this be the reason for the problem I described before?
I have tried Video LAN and windows media player, the two of them have the same flickering.
If you need more information please let me know. Any advice you can provide, I would really appreciate.
Thanks!
