Hey guys, so basically i've been having a few issue's with what I now believe is the drivers for my XFX 5770 card.

I am running Windows 7 64bit and am using the correct and up to date drivers, the initial driver install goes fine and then asks me to reboot, after I reboot the PC and it trys to load into windows, it freezes on the Windows 7 animated flags screen (before the user login) and will go no further untill you restart again. Only about 1 in every 5 to 6 goes will enable you to access the computer normally without it freezing, when I do get into windows the card works perfectly fine as far as i can see.

However, when I uninstall the graphics cards drivers and restart, I no longer have any problems and the pc boots without problem every time. I have tried the older drivers that came on the CD with the card, and the new latest ones from XFX but to no avail. I have also tried this in a machine running the same version of Windows 7 (64bit) & with a Windows 7 32bit machine using the supported drivers but the same problem still exisits.

I have contacted the XFX support and so far all the guy has said is to do a fresh install of the card drivers removing all traces of the previous install. But i've already done that many times.

I've not really found much info on the web about this problem.

Incase it helps:
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (also tried with ASUS P6T SE)
4GB Crucial RAM
OCZ 500w Power Supply

Thanks!
