I was looking for drivers for this bad GPU and I found some but from MS' WU repository for WinXP and these seem to partially works. And since I have it I'd like to use it properly. In build I put it it seems to fit more or less.

RAM: 1.5GB
Mobo: ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2
GPU: Ati Radeon Mobility 7500
Procesor: AMD Sempron 1.8GHz.

With newer drivers 3370 3D marks in 3DMark 2000 and 1595 in 2001.

Maybe try this one: http://ftp.ext.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp27501-28000/sp27665.exe

However, this is very unusual to have mobile chip on discrete card.
BTW. CPU is probably Sempron not Celeron 😀

2) i420EX /486DX33 /16M /TGUI9440 /GUS+ALS100+MT32PI
3) i430FX /K6-2@400 /64M /Rage Pro PCI /ES1370+YMF718
4) i440BX /P!!!750 /256M /MX440 /SBLive!
5) iB75 /3470s /4G /HD7750 /HDA

Would like to see that card without heatsink. Also maybe the card needs new thermal paste?

Yeah, my bad, Sempron 1.8GHz. 🤣

And paste is fresh, @Sphere478 I don't promise but when I'll find some time I'll clean paste and make pic but I can say next to chip itself are 2 free 'mounting points' supposedly for RAM?

I have a "mobility" chip on a discrete GPU too. Haven't done much testing with it though.

Can anyone help me with downloading what @zyga64 linked?

Edit: I downloaded and again (as I tried many installers) INF error, couldn't find display driver. Not sure if that's correct error as I translated from Polish.

You tried this one already: https://thinkpads.com/support/Thinkpad-Driver … es/1rd637ww.exe?

I am using this one on an IBM T42 laptop without problems. Don't know if the inf file likes your card though.

I dunno, I'll test these as well. And.

Edit: Tried and the driver is incompatible with the display adapter.

Have you looked up the Vendor and Device ID of your card?

If yes... what is it?
I for example have a Laptop with a Geforce 4 420 GO and it wanted very specific toshiba drivers before it worked.

I have no idea how these numbers will help me since even Snappy Driver Installer failed...

Numbers:

PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4C57&SUBSYS_10021002&REV_00

how about this driver? : https://www.driveridentifier.com/scan/mirror_ … C46%5CVideo.zip
This driver pack has the right IDs in its files. At least in theory it should work.

I found here https://www.driverscape.com/download/mobility-radeon-7500c and Ati Control Panel installed and reboot didn't kill showing screen but flickering from time to time black screen persists. So seems it's Ati Mobility Radeon 7500C not 7500.

That’s definitely a mobile chip. (Not what I have been using on my socket 7 builds)

But also really cool 😀 and low power! :p

It is interesting that they used board ram instead of the bga on the package. Maybe the package only supports 64 bit and the board supports 128 bit but looks lke you only have 64 bit anyway

So how to fix 'black screen glitching'?

When is this happening? Desktop? 3d? Post?

Low score for a 7500. That memory is GDDR 200/400, so I would expect 4000 3Dmarks in '01.

The driver I use for Mobility 7500 is called SP30767 (do a search and you should see links for Compaq Evo, etc.) but I know it doesn't have your exact device ID with subsystem 10021002 so you'd have to edit the INF file if you want to try it.

Try a different driver or a older sp version of windows.

If I'd only know what driver, I spent 4 hours to make it work and these moments of black screens. If I won't fix it I'd rather get rid of this card.

Might be worth sending it back and getting a real 7500. I can PM you next time I see one on ebay. (Like the ones I use.)

This is the cheapest one I see right now. If you wait they show up for 20–40$
