To diagnose a problem, it helps if you report the symptoms,
any error messages on the screen and so on.

My experience with ATI products, is you must try several different
versions of the drivers for the card, to find a driver which
is stable. For example, with the driver on the ATI CD, I
was unable to boot my computer without it crashing. Downloading
a different driver version from ATI web site fixed it. (I
had to use Safe Mode to clean up the mess.)

Occasionally, I see postings on the private web forums,
were certain brands of video cards and certain chipsets don't
seem to mix, but this is not going to be true most of the time.
Otherwise, the video card companies would go out of business.
(Too much returned product is bad for business.)

Here is a Newegg product review for a 9250:

"I bought this card back in January when I did a computer
rebuild. I needed something affordable, but better than my
GeForce4 MX440 64mb. Then I found this. I liked its size and
large amount of memory. It has an older directx config, but
once the driver is updated it runs the games great. I can
play WOW on this card with mid-level settings without any
major problems. One thing I did notice however was that
the heatsink got scalding hot. No problems though, bought
a 6 dollar PCI fan (from newegg) and stuck it right undernieth
and viola no more heat problems. I would highly recommend
this product."

Check that the video card is not overheating.
