Recently purchased a new 4850, installed it, and nothing works. Every DirectX game I've tried ends in a stop error (BSOD). Sometimes I get a message about the driver entering an "infinite loop", but usually I get nothing.
This machine is running WinXP (32-bit) on an Athon-64 3700+ and an nForce 4 chipset.
I've confirmed this card works in a Core 2 Duo machine running an nForce 630i chipset using the same power supply from this computer using the latest drivers from ATI.
On my computer, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several different drivers several times using a variety of methods (uninstalling the old drivers, installing it over the old one, installing it in VGA mode, running registry cleaner before installing...you name it I've tried it).
From what I've been able to read, there is no reason why this card would be incompatible with my board. I have not been able to find any useful information from the stop error or the save dump, and most recommendations quickly talk about a faulty power supply or overheating card, but neither is the case with me since the same PSU and same card works in a different computer.
I am out of ideas, does anyone have any suggestions?
