I was just playing LoL when my screen went off the fritz and froze. I force shit down my computer and waited awhile, restarted it AND NOW MY COMPUTER DISPLAY IS COMING UP AS 4-BIT COLOR WITH 640x480 resolution.

And I can't change it. Yes. FOUR BIT.

Is this a graphics card problem??? And how do I fix it?

[Ralath]

This is what it looks like...

Actually, that looks kind of normal. It's much worse than that...

Sounds like your graphics card drivers shit the bed. Uninstall and reinstall them.

[Ralath]

How can I find which ones they are and which ones I need to install?

[Hraesvelg]

You need to find out what graphics card you have. Do you know right off? You could probably get it from the Windows system screen.

omg I didn't even notice. >_>

OK. Here's what happened.

I haven't installed the driver I dled yet. I'm pretty sure I have the right driver for my graphics card. Do I have to remove the original driver first or can I just install on top of the old one?

I restarted my computer again and it actually came up with all the right colors. But then I tried to change the resolution because it was stuck on like.... the old really big resolution and it went back to the 4-bit color again... T_T

I just tried installing new driver software and they came back with the message: "Couldn't find appropriate hardware."

??????

[Blaaaaaaaah]

What version of graphics card do you have? List the specs so you can make sure you dled the right one?
