Why is my ATI Radeon HD 5750 video card not working anymore? How can I fix it? 2?
Hello, I bought an ATI radeon Hd 5750 video card around 2 weeks ago. The installation went smoothly, and it worked great. Up until today. I unplugged my computer because it was messing up, and when I re-started the computer, my ATI video/graphics card had been replaced with my *old* Nvidia GeForce 6150SE Integrated graphics card. I spent the next 7 hours (I’m not exaggerating) looking online for solutions. I ended up removing all the nvidia drivers (With Driver Sweeper) and my ati drivers, logging into the administrator account, and re-installing the ATI drivers. The difference about this install was that it actually prompted me to re-boot, which all the other re-installations didn’t do. I also (before I logged in on the admin account) used system restore to restore from 5 days earlier. That of course didn’t work. Normally when you have the ATI control center installed, you can right click and go to it. Even after all of my re-installations, that *still* hasn’t come yet.
If there is any more information you need, post it here, or email me (anthonyjrcooper@yahoo.com).

I checked the PSU, and it’s 220-240V (I think) That’s the only thing i could make out on the sticker.
On the last installation, I removed all the video card drivers (Nvidia and Ati), and rebooted. I used a driver cleaner. I then installed the new drivers, and it prompted me to reboot. I did. Nothing happened.
I tried uninstalling all the video card drivers (ati and nvidia), and I rebooted. I then installed the drivers for my ati, and rebooted. Nothin.
@WWE:
Yes, it is in the PCI-express slot. I just checked a minute ago, and it’s also securely in place. I will try the filehippo download.

Did you place the graphics card in the correct expansion slot? I do believe that it needs PCI Express for it to work properly. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ati_catalyst_vista/ and did you use these drivers? Another important factor would be is your OS 32-bit or 64-bit cause those drivers are different.
