Anyone else getting the bsod when installing the latest ATI drivers?
It's crazy, everything else installs fine, but as soon as it tried to install the drivers for my 5870 it blue screens.

Which ones? The 11.4 previews? I got a BSOD when I first installed them, uninstalled them, rebooted, then used driver cleaner to scrub out the left overs, then rebooted and installed the 11.4s again and haven't had a problem since.

I was getting epic BSOD with my new 6950 ATI card with the latest drivers, version 11.2. Set my OC back to default and did a driver cleaner (with drivercleaner pro) and its been fine since. going to re apply my OC tomorrow night and see.

my PSU might not be coping with the new GPU also causing it to be not as stable as my PC was OCK SOLID with my NVidia 9600GT for the past 5 months or more.

EDIT: 2-6-11. Post no longer relevant now that I-node has
the Nvidia 275.33 drivers.

(original post was about GTX560 not being supported by 266.58 drivers.
GTX 560 had it's own 266.66 drivers).

In my experience, when it comes to updating drivers, the only thing that is really worthwhile is the video card. I have found that my motherboard prefers its original drivers otherwise applications can crash - even because of a newer audio driver.

I'm terrified to update my Intel 915P chipset from the intel website. My understanding is if the INF file is no good then nothing will work... Best to leave it untouched.
