so i recieved my 4870x2, i uninstalled my nvidia drivers and entered safe mode and removed the rest using driver cleaner pro, i then shut down and put in the new card, everything loads up fine get into windows (wonderful res) and then i get a bsod when my desktop loads. ive removed all drivers and it still happens.

if i try and install the ati drivers in safemode it comes up with the error "failed to load detection system"

any ideas?
 
tried using the drivers from the cd the ones downloaded from the his website and the ones downloaded from the ati website cant get any of them to install in safe mode keeps saying "failed to load detection system" and then installs nothing.

when i then leave safe mode and try and enter windows normally i get a bsod and it then just restarts.

bit stuck here looks like i may have to reinstall windows yay!
 
well after a few installs of windows and trying to get things installed in the right order, it may be working now...took forever to get right, it seems like the CCC had an issue with a directx update that futuremark installed which caused a bsod, so i installed directx before the ati drivers this time and so far so good, but at work now so cant really test it. but at least it was loading up!
