ATI x850xt + HL2 = crashing?

[Morphes]

Hello, i just got a 850xt pcie and when i tried to play hl2 or bf2 it would crash on me, hl2 just hangs on the loading screen, i just installed x64 windows to see if that would change anything but it does the same. Any ideas? Also when i installed the ati drivers the control pannel for ATI related stuff wasnt there after reboot (yes they were the correct driver). Thanks for helping or atleast reading.

Since no one else has replied yet, I'm going to go ahead and venture a guess: PSU issue?

nah i just upgraded, it runs bf2 fine now, im guessing its a driver conflict somehow (even though its an ati motherboard)

you need to stop bickering and help the guy, and FYI ive had nothing but trouble with cat drivers from 4.8 - 5.5...

temperature issues?
