FX5900 drivers

[josh_fest]

I can't get my card to run on any drivers newer than version 45.23. I get the "blue screen of death" when I try to boot with newer drivers. Has anyone had these problems? Does anyone have any ideas for me? Anything is welcome

You try reformatting? Remember to install in this order:

XP
SP1 and Updates
Chipset Drivers
DX 9.0b
Vid Card Drivers
Everything else

Did you fully uninstall the old drivers?
Try driver cleaner leaves no musty after taste

But I've had the computer for a month or two. Shouldnt need to reformat just yet.

You might need to especially if you had a non-NVIDIA card previous to this one.

Now that I think of it, i did have a 9500np in here for a couple days because my first fx5900 didn't work. Is there any way to reformat without losing everything? this is my family's (6 people) computer, and there's a lot of stuff on here. I don't think my parents would let me do it

Does anyone have any ideas?
