Thane,

Which chipset do you refer to? I have a HIS Radeon HD5770. I've only had this card for about 2 months and frankly, it's been a bit of a problem from the getgo....the mobo is a Gigabyte P35-DS4. I've run WEI plenty of times...even with this card, mind you. I think I was using the 9.x driver and it worked fine then....giving a 7.4 on the WEI. Only after I went to this 10.2 driver (in either form) did the crashing of WEI start.

Ok...I used Driver Clearer to clean both the previous nVidia and the ATI drivers from my system.

then I went back and installed the ATI 10.2 CCC drivers.

The good news is I could actually see and open CCC and the ATI folder from the program menu. This is one thing I could not do previously as the drivers & software didn't install correctly. So, I can say from this taht Driver Cleaner actually helped out.

However, with the ATI 10.2 CCC and drivers loaded, Windows Experience Index crashes the computer. Now, I don't think this is some kind of litmus test or anything, but that is a basic app built into Win7...it doesn't seem right that it just completely crashes my system to a black screen.

Then you either have a bad card, or some sort of Windows corruption. I run the WEI on all our machines and have never had it crash (on any card.) What chipset do you have?
