I've had 2 ati cards, an old PCI all in wonder and a new x800 xt all in wonder and both have been a PITA for driver updates. Did you actually fully uninstall the old drivers before loading new ones? I've found that's it not enough to just switch to a basic vga driver and then load new ones, you actually have to do the uninstall or the new load will likely be messed up.

I had a problem with my new card and video capture - I forget which program it was (pinnacle studio maybe?) but every time I exited the program it would crash my PC and 50% time report a HW problem at reboot. I reloaded the drivers then reloaded the app and all was good.
