Hello. I am running W7 ultimate 64 and have replaced my Graphics card with the ATI FirePro V4800. (This is a Photoshop computer (CS5 64). I have a 24 Dell monitor currently. I plan to upgrade to a high end monitor and use DP-DP at some point once this is resolved. Connection currently is DVI-DVI .
The display drops to a blank screen unpredictably if I try to set the resolution correctly or close a browser window for example or close a menu or whatever.
I uninstalled the previous drivers for Nvidia GTX 260 and restarted. I installed the supplied ATI software from the CD (using the install guide as shown in the sticky here). I also repeated the process with identical results after downloading the most recent package from the official site. That version is firepro_8.723_win7x64_98793.
I am using the express ATI uninstall between attempts as well.
I tried both custom (all) install settings and express settings. The monitor is correctly recognised when the correct graphics card is detected.
I disabled anitvirus for the install, uninstalled my monitor calibration software (EyeOne).
Rebooting will load Windows again until the next problem.
Safe mode and rolling back the card driver (to standard VGA with generic PnP monitor) works and the system is stable at that configuration.
Any suggestions regarding what I am missing/what else I can try or experiences with a version of Catalyst that is working would be greatly appreciated
