Sapphire Radeon HD5450 Video Card--Incompatible with Windows 7

Originally posted 12/18/11 Revised and re-posted 7/4/12. After innumerable “display driver has stopped responding” messages and waiting for my screen to come back up I have given up on this video card. I have tried every solution I was able to find on the web. NONE of them have worked. I pulled the card and have not found any issues since I uninstalled the drivers and removed the card.

I can NOT recommend this card for use with Windows 7.

First off, if you are a gamer I did not test this with any games. I got it to keep my on board video card from grabbing RAM from my base memory. That feature seems to work just fine. This is a very good video card for the price. The onboard 1gb off DDR3 memory just astounds me. Keep in mind that my computer roots go back to computers that had 64k of memory, let alone video cards with 1gb of RAM.

It does include the low profile bracket.

Remington RM2510 Rustler 17-Inch 25cc 2-Cycle Curved Shaft Gas Trimmer with QuickStart Technology

I haven't had a gas powered weed wacker for several years. I still find the mixing of gas and oil a pain in the butt. Since all my gas cans are in use and I didn't want to empty one to test this, I bought a new one gallon can. The Remington includes a starter can of oil, 3.2oz which you mix with one gallon of gas. I'm a direction reader so after reading them several times I began. I installed the shield and repositioned the handle. Pretty simple and wing nuts are not just goofy people, these wing nuts worked just fine. It has a primer bulb which you depress ten times and then adjust the choke and pull away. It is a very light pull and it started after the third sequence of five pulls. You leave it warm up and then you are ready to go. The bump head that is supposed to release the cutting line works but not smoothly. I was unable to get it to release line on the grass. I had to "bump" it on the driveway to get it to release. I
