I had a problem with my Radeon HD 4870, it kept freezing my whole system while gaming, so I got a new one. Little did I know it would be a completely different card design. However, this turned out to be a good thing. This new one has 2 fans and runs ALOT quieter and cooler. Thanks for watching and please subscribe, rate and comment. More videos coming soon!

  • Hey there, I had the same original card you had and what sounds like the same problem you described. Did you ever find a fix for it or am I better off buying another card?

  • I exchanged it for a new card, updated the drivers, and now i havent had a problem. Hope this helps :)

  • I got one of the most annoying computer problems ever :|

    This problem usually comes when you reinstalled windows, but I got it outta nowhere ..

    MY COMPUTER CAN'T NOTIVE MY VIDEO CARD -.-

    any help?

  • Its probably a driver issue so you might want to try and uninstall all the video card drivers you have and then re-install the one for your card. If that doesnt help let me know

  • i have a asus hd4870 and he freez in games and some times in windows.

    you only change your graphic?

  • It wasnt a card problem i have recently found out that its just a graphics driver error with some custom built PC's. The driver atikmdag.sys fails all the time and if you search it on google a lot of people have had the same problem and ATI really doesnt have a solution so that sucks. Recently it hasnt done it at all though and i havent changed anything so i dont know but its working fine for me now
