I have touched on this subject in another forum here but have encounterd a new problem and need some help.
Recently my ati 9800pro died (turn pc on to see "no signal, going to sleep". Swapped it for a "Power Colour rad* 9550". Have recently noticed other than a huge increase in lag and sometimes mountains going black and then various objects following suit. This may last for 2 seconds each object but carry on for 10 seconds. This has no consistancy whatsoever and dosent prolong as the game does. Have been playing with the new card almost a week, approx, 20 hours.
I had the omega drivers installed after reading a guide reccomended at bf2s. I install the new 1.22 patch today load the game up and at the menu recieved the multicolour banding around the edge of menu boxes that I have seen before after patching. At the "connecting to server" message the game freezes and I get the "No signal, going to sleep" message. I then have to restart pc. Its just how it was before I replaced the graphics card however, the pc restarts fine where as it didn't and thats when I ditched the 9800. I've already decided to upgrade the card but have to get one from the same store that I'm taking this one back to, they dont have a huge range, my budget is about £100 total.

I have run adware etc recently and when I had the case open last week I got rid of the dust bunnys.
Why am I getting the Multicolour menu and then no signal? Thankyou in advance for any help.
