    Black screen!

    are you sure that you are you connecting all the 6/4 pin power connectors? Are you also sure that you plugging your monitor into the gfx card and not into your onbard? Also could please tell us what card, and the rest of the spec of your computer. Thanks

    My HD 7850 is not being read, windows 7 onlys reads onboard graphics

    Not normally. Double check that all leads are plugged into your graphics card. And that you are plugging the monitor into the correct port that is on the graphics card, not onboard. If this doesnt work, can you try the card in another computer maybe?

    My HD 7850 is not being read, windows 7 onlys reads onboard graphics

    You could check the bios and make sure that your motherboard is set to use your PCI-express graphics card slot, rather than you onboard graphics? report back if that works?

    System wont read Graphics card help!!!!!!

    you need to download the graphics drivers for your graphics card by the sound of it. Download this: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx And it will detect what driver you need.

    That's perfectly fine and normal, the Max GPU Temp for that card is 122C. That is within safe limits. Adam

    HD 6950 too slow

    Are you playing the legal or pirated version? the pirated version is known to have a bad crack which reduces frame rates significantly. Also the game is known to have issues with certain Radeon cards, and ATI have stated "The driver to fix current issues is slated for a sep 12 release."

    Speed lost from NOT enabling crossfire?

    What Power supply do you have, are you sure that it is enough to run your cards in crossfire?

    Every fifa game crashes on my computer as soon as it starts!

    You could try either reinstalling the game? You could also try removing your Gfx drivers using driver-sweep in sage mode. Or you could try reinstalling Windows.
