Have tried 3 different catalysts from ati, the omega ones plus the xp native driver. Tried 5 machines from generic to dell precision workstation, XP and 2000~~~all the same.

What card was in the machine before? If it was an Nvidia card, make sure the drivers for the card are uninstalled, uninstall all catalyst drivers, go to the forums on Rage3d.com, find the catalyst forum, follow the clean uninstall procedure in one of the stickied threads then try running "Detonator Destroyer" followed by a reinstall of the latest Catalysts.
Edit: You might also want to check that the fan is still rotating on the GPU HS too.
