:( Ok last sunday i get an BBA X800XL since then i have no stability on my sistem, I had a 6600GT working flawlessly

But since I changed the video card my computer keep crashing all the time, at times it restarts while loading XP others XP loads and I can even play games until it crash again.

I have DFI Ultra-D with the latest bios (10/03)
corsair PC4400C25 (tccd)
AMD64 3500+
OCZ ModStream 520W

-first I used driver cleaner and installed the latest catalyst drivers, crash
-then I loaded the "optimized defaults" because i was OC'ing and supposed it was the problem, crash
-then i formated the HD and installed XP, crash (even before installing any driver; chipset, video card or anything else)
-then i changed the card to the other PCI-E 16X slot that has the mobo, crash
-then I unplugged the second monitor (i was using two 17" CRT´s), crash

what would it be??

sometimes I get this message "STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)"

or "Video driver problem"
but as said before even without drivers installed it makes windows crash

I was using this power supply with a neo2 and a 6800Ultra perfectly stable and being able to overclock it beyond 550mhz (some guy told me maybe its a PS problem), but being the 6800U so hungry for watts i dont think it is the problem with this x800xl

help please!?!?!?!
 
The x800xl doesn't even need a extra power connector. It shouldn't need any more power than the bus gives it.

Do you still have the 6600? If so try reinstalling xp with that again (I know it is a pain).
 
Which driver version are you using? Are you using the version with the Catalyst control center? Are you able to boot into safe mode?
 
I´m using the 5.3 Catalyst with control panel, windows loads (sometimes dont) I can even play, the problem is the random restarts. I installed again the 6600GT and works great I think I have to return the x800xl, the problem is that I bougth it at CompUSA in LAs vegas but I live in Mexico =(
