Reinstall all and before that do backups of all important data. It's usually recommended action when doing upgrades.

So you just upgraded you computer and you already had ati card before that and you installed older drivers from the cd? or did you do reinstallation of windows and then installed old drivers from cd?

why you didn't go to ati.amd.com and downloaded newest drivers? Since I bet that those on CD were old ... So now it seems that you must install windows again ...

I've tried installing from ati's website, i've tried off different cd's i've tried everything, and the same thing happens everytime.
i rang ccl's tech support about it and they said bring the card in and i should be able to ge a replacement, the guy on the phone said the card is prolly faulty then if the extra features enabled by the drivers are causing faults.
