HELP: No video after installing ATI drivers

[tjdavis1138]

I recently purchase an HIS 4670 card from newegg. I have xp sp2 and vista 64-bit installed on this computer. The vista install went fine. When I switched to xp and tried to install the drivers off of the cd everything seemed fine until I rebooted. I can hear the hard drive working and it sounds like it's booting into xp I just don't have a picture.

I see the bios screen, the xp loading screen then the monitor kicks off and it's good bye until I reset. I can boot into safe mode fine. Not sure what to do here. I've had this problem in the past with other ati cards, just figured it was an isolated incident at the time.

Abit ip35pro, xp sp2

that was the first mistake. those driver are old. really old. should have downloaded the most recent from the ati website and use that cd as a coaster

Their 8.5 on the cd. I tried to install the new drivers before these off of the cd and it wouldn't work. Came up and said everything was up to date and didn't install. This was before I installed any drivers.
