Boldeagle Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I'm having some issues since installing the 8.5 drivers.....black screen during 3dmark06.....froze during oblivion and did a freeze when trying a little OC on my x1900xtx.....with 8.3 my system was running fine. I have heard others are having some issues with these drivers. Try uninstalling 8.5....clean up properly with Drive Cleaner Pro and then re-installing 8.3. I have a feeling it maybe the driver!
