ATI x600 displaying checkerboard pattern when playing games

If the LCD screen on your ASKO T761 clothes dryer is displaying a checkerboard of black squares, it could indicate an issue with the screen itself or the control board that manages the display. Here are a few possible causes and solutions:

1. Faulty LCD screen: The LCD screen may be damaged or malfunctioning, causing it to display the checkerboard pattern. In this case, you may need to replace the screen.
2. Control board issue: The control board is responsible for managing the functions of the dryer, including the display. If it is malfunctioning, it may cause the LCD screen to display the checkerboard pattern. In this case, you may need to replace the control board.
3. Loose connection: The connection between the LCD screen and the control board may be loose or disconnected. Make sure all connections are securely plugged in.
4. Software issue: If the issue is with the software, a firmware update or reinstalling the software may fix the problem.

try checking for updated drivers for your hd 5730. i have seen this in desktops with both ati and nvidia gpus.

search for WIN 7 & KVM switch issues... you will find thousand of hits, because WIN 7 has one unique feature where it disables internal and external ports if these are not in use.

In a KVM solution setup this would mean, while you are connected everything is fine, now when you switch over to your (Lets say) WIN XP and work for 30 minutes on it... and then switch back, WIN 7 might have already scanned and seen that the USB port where the KVM cable comes in is IDLE... so it disconnected it... you cannot get it back until you reboot your WIN 7 system. Its not the KVM solution is one of those Microsoft wonder weapons that breaks what has worked for 20 years

The card is most likely NOt the problem, best thing to do is upgrade the Graphics drivers and other drivers... If that doesnt work...
Check to make sure the Ram is sufficient,
I believe it would be the problem if its a older card, and Sims 3 is a high Polygon game. and Alot of radeon cards Get old quick.. if You really want to play sims 3 Upgrade your Video Card If your running a Crossfire Mother board (Ati only) Buy one of the new Ati cards 4890 i believe is the newest one, Its a great card
If your running a Full compatibility board buy one of the new Nvidia's But before you buy make sure your Computer Supports it :)

A bit late over a year has passed.........

I have a smilar problem, with the ATI enabled the laptop black screens on startup.
If you disable the ATI x600 in Device Manager (using safe mode) the laptop works fine as the ATI is not being used.

Solution is to replace the ATI x600, which unfortunately is a specialist job as this is soldered directly onto the motherboard. Or replace the motherboard.

I have located a company in Manchester (called CRM) that repairs HP computers, and they can repair/replace the ATI for around £175, or replace the motherboard for about £250. Replacing the board gives you a 12months warranty. add VAT to those figures. There phone number is 01618881232, I have found them to be very helpful.

if it's a checkerboard pattern, it's what happens before the three lights of death, the eraser fix posted by Carl26 worked on mine.
