The ATI drivers from the ATI site are hopeless

The other PC here, had the same prob, no matter what version I
installed. Even tho, they were fine on this PC

In the end, I downloaded the drivers from the ASUS site, and it hasnt
crashed yet. Why I dont know

I uninstalled the ATI drivers and used drivercleaner to remove
anything to do with them, then deleted its folder first

Interesting. Generally, you can sub the ATI drivers for any ATI card,
regardless of the company (Asus, HIS, Powercolor, etc.).

There must be something different about the Asus card that they have
changed the drivers to accommodate.

Thankd for the info. Glad you have it running smoothly without crashes.

I'm just using the ASUS drivers. And they havent crashed as much, as
the ATi drivers

"Haven't crashed as much"? The card shouldn't crash at all if the
drivers are installed properly (whichever they are).

Try uninstalling, then re-installing the drivers. Something's wrong
somewhere if you're getting crashes.
