I just recieved my Sapphire 4870 and inserted it correctly, plugging in two power cables as instructed. Everything switches on fine and windows xp boots up but as soon as windows detects new hardware and starts looking for new drivers for the card I get a quick blue screen and then a reboot. Has anyone had this problem???
I dont want to RMA straight away as these are in such short supply and Iv waited for a couple of weeks for it to arrive. Any suggestions?
Im running the latest Catalyst 8.6, I even installed the CD that came with the card (using my old Sapphire 3450 to run the system, which works without any issues). Nothing seems to help. As soon as Windows boots up and logs in and the bottom left tray starts loading a bubble pops up saying searching for drivers for new decive a blue screen flashes and thats that, the system reboots.
