hi guys

Right, got an old Q6600 PC here, and got a Radeon 6870 for basically pennies to put into it..
Card went in fine and system booted up fine.. But cannot install drivers!

I have tried the latest official release, aswell as the latest Beta driver, But always fails..

it works fine until it gets to the Graphics Driver install.... the part where your screen goes black and back on again, Well mine goes black, then as its about to come back on, the screen just goes green, and system locks up...
This is windows 10 x64 by the way..

A quick google search shows that this is perhaps an issue with installing older cards under windows 10, But the Q6600 system here, has currrently got a 9800gt installed, So thought id upgrade it to the 6870...

anyone had this issue and know an easy fix?
its literally locking green EVERYTIME, at the same part... But displays fine under 2D without drivers installed..

cheers
