Anyone know any sollution to solve it?

Update your drivers from www.ati.com . Other than that I can't really suggest anything, that's a low-end chip.

I've been messing with the Xpress 200M on my notebook here for a long time, and this is what I've come to find:

1) The Omega Drivers from 6.2 on (if memory serves) provide complete support for the Xpress 200M and should fix any problems you have.
2) If you need the centered timings for presentations (like I do at frequent intervals) then what I found is that I can mod the 6.4 drivers myself by adding support for the Xpress 200M from the manufacturuer's drivers to the 6.4 *.inf and manually install the driver.

If neither of those work, then I would install PowerStrip and see what HP clocked your Xpress 200M at and downclock it if you deem it necesarry.
