First of all new to this forum, and hoping someone can be of assistance. I just dropped $3000 on a new tower:
Q9550 Core 2 Quad Processor 2.83 GHZ
4gigs Ram
Sapphire HD 4870X2 2GB DDR5 video card
300gb velociraptor HD
1 Terabite Seagate second HD
DX48BT2 Intel Motherboard
When I got it back from being built it ran fine. Crysis played at 1280X1024 on very high settings. (thats as high as my monitor can handle). A week or 2 later I saw 8.9 drivers so I grabbed them, as the release date was after my build. Every since, Crysis crashes on game exit, Neverwinter nights crashes on any graphics adjustment whatsoever..... as soon as I click apply to save changes I get a black screen (game music still playing in background) then I get colored waves for a bit then the vid card sounds like it tries to reset itself then back to the black screen and music. Eventually after a minute or 2 the computer reboots. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 8.7, 8.8, and 8.9 drivers, running ATI uninstall between each one. I have updated to the lates bios and chipset drivers, I have done a fresh windows restore, and tried installing off the video driver disk (FAIL) ATI driver does not install but everything else does. I am at a loss!! Can anyone help before I take a sludge hammer to this piece of crap?
Should add, I am running Windows Vista 32.
