General Problems
Problem	Possible Solution
Computer Does Not Boot-Up Properly	Verify that the installation instructions were properly followed. Check that the card is properly installed in your system and connected to your monitor. If you have problems during start-up, restart your computer in Safe Mode. While starting Windows� XP, press and hold F8 until you see the Windows� Advanced Options Menu. Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and press Enter. Check the system configuration utility of your operating system for the interrupt assignments. Contact Dell Technical Support if the problem persists.
No Display	Check that the card is seated properly in its expansion slot. Ensure that the monitor cable is securely fastened to the card. Make sure that the monitor and computer are plugged in and receiving power. If necessary, disable any built-in graphics capabilities on your mother board. For more information, consult your computer's manual or manufacturer. (Note: some manufacturers do not allow the built-in graphics to be disabled or to become the secondary display.) Make sure that you selected the appropriate monitor when you installed your enhanced driver.
Screen Defects Appear	Check if your monitor supports the resolution, horizontal (kHz) and vertical (Hz) refresh rates as required by the graphics card. Check your current resolution, refresh rate, and color depth settings in the Settings and Monitor tabs in your Display Properties dialog. Warning! Ensure that both video card and monitor support resolution and refresh rates you select. Incompatible resolution/refresh rate selection may result in monitor damage. Refer to your monitor's documentation for recommended resolutions and refresh rates.
Off-Center Screen Image, Odd Colors or No Picture	Try adjusting the brightness, sharpness, contrast, and color balance controls of your monitor. Try adjusting the centering and positioning controls of your monitor to position the picture on the screen. Note: The Screen Position settings in Display Properties > Advanced > Displays > Adjustments tune the position of the picture on the screen via the video signal. Set the monitor's RGB inputs (and sync switches, if this option is available) to 75 Ohms, with the sync set to external. Digital Flat Panel (DFP) monitor users: refer to your monitor's documentation for the appropriate cable and connector to plug into the DVI-I connector on the graphics card.
Operating System Warns that Video Card Isn't Properly Configured	Check the driver installation and make sure that all software is correctly loaded corresponding to your operating system and applications. Re-install the ATI drivers for your RADEON™ X300 SE card.
