I bought an ATI HD 5770 card after everyone here said I would love it and how its so great.
I had a cheaper hdmi msi card with didint even pass sound through hdmi so I though what the hell.

Little did I know.

Grey screens with horizontal and vertical lines showing up all of a sudden making me restart my pc just to get things back to normal.

When watching movies I get this crackling popping noise.

And nobody seems to be helping in my old topic (Video Card Question)

So this is why I decided to start this new one, to see if anyone can help me.

Yes I have downloaded all the latest drivers, catalyst center,etc.... and nothing.
Same problem.

Funny thing is I don't even play games on my PC. So i'm not running it hard or anything!

Can't anyone please just help me out??

I think your problem has been solved.. they just released a driver to fix that very problem.

If you cannot get this to work with your 5770, contact ATI.. now that they know there is a problem and they have even made a fix for it.. they cannot deny a fix for your card too.

Only for the 5800 series so far. Doesn't work for 5700 series, which he has.

Just curious this whole, freezing and turning black issue... Do we know what the problem actually is? Is it AMD?

Hey ppl, i just wanted to tell yo guys that my friend just bought that card, and it works perfectly on a 64-bit Se7en pro. No driver issues. Well, not "just bought" but like, 3-4 weeks ago.

this is why its almost impossible to pin down a problem & work out a solution with ATI.....

results are far too inconsistent, even on matching H/W

Yeah, from reading this tread, the card is really hellish. I'm just glad my buddy doesnt have these problems.

Its a known problem , check this official amd game forum and is expected to be solved with the new hotfix (of 10.1) or with upcoming one. Btw the hotfix currently solves the prob for 58xx so its kinda obvious that it either may work for 57xx or the next one will

I've had one since December, and I've been using the drivers from around then too, with a Creative Audigy (non official drivers)
No problems..
Asus model 5770...
Friend also buys two in crossfire, and yeah, no problems.

hm.... could it be the sub-vendors don't like the official drivers?
