    I did ran driversweeper, no CCC installed.

    Bluescreen came out of nowhere.
    When did you run driversweeper? before or after letting Windows update install the drivers?

    Have you checked your RAM with memtest86+ by any chance?
    Unistalled all ATI drivers and CCC rebooten into safemode, ran driversweeper, reebooted, 5 minutes in a got a bluescreen.

    Trying another CD with Windows 7 x32, or should I go for XP?

    I spent uncountable hours trying to correct my TDR problem with bluescreen crash using a GTX260 after installing W7 (TDR = Timeout Detection Recovery = "Display Driver Stopped Responding and has Recovered"). It turns out that the video card was bad. The strange thing was that I was using it without problems in the same rig for 9 months with XP-SP3! After doing countless diagnostics I finally bought a new GeForce 9500GT card for $50 to use while I RMA'd the GTX260 back to EVGA. Installing the 'new' card ended all my video problems. When I got the replacement card back and installed it there were no problems. Both cards use the same nVidia drivers.
    So my advice is to not rule out a bad card. Ultimately that is what you may be dealing with.

    That's why I bought the cheap card. I wasn't going to go 3 weeks without the puter! Plus for $50 I knew for sure what the problem was.

    After another reinstall of windows, the problem is still present. That's it, im quitting, I've tried everything, Im shipping it back on monday! But I have a feeling that this problems may happen to all 5850 cards.. Which GPU do I want if I want to stay out of this kinda trouble?

    A working card is probably fine. Your card isn't working. Why it isn't working is a good question (maybe I should post it). I theorize that windows 7 is much more video intensive than previous OS's, or is using the hardware differently. This TDR problem is pervasive across both vendors and every product line. The variety and inconsistency of the solutions that work for some people but not for others point out , to me, that a card must be working flawlessly to overcome the error threshold.
    But this is all speculation. Maybe if I have one more drink I can solve world peace too!

    Sorry about doble posting.. but after a while on google it appears that I have to turn off TDR?

    How do I do that in Windows 7? I found a guide how to do it in Vista, but I can't find the TDR reg?
