Hi, I have bought a new msi hd 5850 graphics card, and after installing the card, everything works fine. I can connect my screen through the gfx card port, but when I instal the ati display driver given with the cd, and boot my system it crashes just before the window logon screen. My configuration is: MB - Asus P5Q-VM C2Q Q9550 2.83GHz 2 GB Physical memory (800 Hhz) 320 Gb WD Hard disc PSU - Atek 600W MSI HD5850 gfx card First I have tried installing in vista then I tried in XP sp3 Then I tried windows 7 and every time i have got same problem of crashing just before the windows logon screen. The driver version in the cd was 8.66 RC7 Even I tried with the latest version of driver from ATI and MSI sites. But no result. Is there any hardware compatibility issue, or driver problem. Also can be there a bios update problem, I have bios version 400. however I have seen version 2001 already out on Asus site. Please help. Any info regarding this will be helpful to me.
