    Display problem with EAH 4870

    Hello to all,

    I have installed Vista x64 with SP1. When I install the 4870's drivers, after booting i get a black screen just before windows logon screen. I've tried using the drivers from the official ASUS site and also the latest 8.12 Catalyst drivers from amd.ati.com. Also I've used the CD drivers...but i just keep getting the black screen. In XP x64, it seemed to work in the beginning ( it booted normally for a couple of times) after a while I got black screens after reboots.

    Here is my specifications:
    Motherboard : Rampage Extreme II
    RAM: Dominators
    VGA: EAH 4870X2 Trifan
    PSU: 1000Watt+
    Monitor: Viewsonic VP920 19" (DVI connection)
    ..and an i7 920.

    Same here
    I7 920 processor, 12Gb Ram, Asus P6T Delux, Asus 4870 X2, Silverstone 750 watt PS , 3x 1Tb WD HDD, LG BluRay Burner, Vista 64

    it works Great in ExpressGate but when I boot into windows right after all programs are done starting up it goes black

    Following is the response from ASUS


    DO NOT INSTALL ASUS GRAPHICS SOFTWARE WITH THIS VIDEO CARD!
    Asus Tech Support told me to RMA the first card so I did well it turns out it wasnt the Card it was the Asus Graphics Software. SmartDoctor and GamerOS seem to be the Problem In my case try getting rid of those program and ill bet your problems will dissapear. This Card runs great until I Install those Utilities and GamerOS caused Adobe Photoshop to Stop working with Vista 64 as soon as it was uninstalled Photoshop works just fine
