Ok so i got my 5870 back and a new heatsink , fitted it all and loaded it up everything is great temps at like 40 for my Q6600 at 3.0

I uninstall all nvidia drivers (add/remove) and then restart , i double click the .exe for the cc driver package 9.11 taken straight from amd site and half way through installing my computer just restarts and it loads back up with no drivers installed. I then try downloading and executing driver sweeper but when i double click that .exe it ses it 'failed to initialize properly' . Also for no apparent reason my CD Drive has an exclamation mark under system and isnt being detected , i have checked the HDD cable and its all plugged in correctly and the power is running to the CD drive as i can eject it.

I have also tried a system restore to no avail and i cant format since my cd drive is randomly not working . Really have no clue wtf is going on :/ .
 
Im on XP SP2 , i did format like 3 days ago u see so perhaps the updates are screwing things up , i have already reset the CMOS and clocks are back to normal.

Ok ill try sweeper in safe mode , if that doesnt work ill go with the updates.

any idea about the CD drive ?
 
yeh i found that regedit fix but i have no upper or lower filters in that reg file :(

in device manager it ses "the device cannot start" (code 10) , dunno if that helps at all

downloading loads of updates atm so hopefully that will solve the ati problem
