Thane,
I can't download your reply for some reason...but I can read it on
my phone...I have revision 2.0 of the P35-DS4 mobo. Thanks.
Well, assuming you have the latest BIOS and chipset drivers, then I
think you have a bad card. One thing you could try (if you can't
return it) is to take off the heatsink and replace the thermal
compound. I've resurrected a couple of video cards that way - they
would crash even when they were only on for a few minutes.

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?
