well yeah, it's what I've tried... and it works with on board graphics and with several other graphics cards... even other ATI cards with drivers... which I of course uninstall... and there shouldn;t be any viruses... I'm downloading it directly from the AMD site... and even still I have a firewall... so I dunno anymore...<.>UnusualStranger said:@Sacman: Well, then chances are I would assume it to be a conflict in the drivers, or more specifically probably a virus in the driver source. I imagine that you cannot safely boot it up in any form, so I would kinda suggest taking out the graphics card and seeing if it would boot with just the on board graphics and then do some changes (like uninstalling the drivers) from there.
