Problem With Windows 7 Pro 64Bit and Radeon HD 4890
ok... So i feel like i have tried everything but I'm sure i haven't because if i did it would be working here's my problem and a time line.
Preorder'd win 7 got it on the 22nd
installed it yesterday. it immediately ran windows update, during that update it installed the drivers for my GFX Card i rebooted my PC and it stopped loading at the starting windows screen after waiting 10-15 minutes i reset the PC and let it boot into start up repair mode which ran system restore and successfully removed the drivers. after booting into windows again i removed the update for the GFX card so i could at least redo the other updates (System restore removed them all) after installing the other updates i rebooted to see if i had the same problem i didn't so that narrowed it down to the drivers WU was trying to install. i knew WU and Drivers were not a good combo so i went to AMD and downloaded the latest catalyst and drivers version 9.10 for win vista and 7 64 bit. i installed those drivers and reboot still no go. ran the system restore again to roll back the drivers which worked. did this whole install roll back process many times. so after a few hours i deleted all ATI folders re-downloaded the 9.10 Package this time running it in compatibility mode for vista still same problem. Any Suggestions?
so to sum it all up I'm having more trouble finding drivers for windows than i had with finding drivers for Ubuntu now that is saying something.
My system Specs are filled in

EDIT:
I Have Read many of the posts here about the 4800 series GFX card problems none really fit my problem or were helpful/worked
