ATI Catalyst - Win7 64 updates
I don't know where to turn. I built a new machine to do photoshop CS4. I have throughly tested everything that I can and cannot find any hardware errors on the machine.
So my problem is as follows:
If I run any of the windows updates, my system blue screens with Stop 0x50 erros memory page fault errors. When you restart windows, the ATI Catalyst gives errors. It will blue screen in Safe Mode, and many of my programs just won't start. Like photoshop gives an error and crashes. Then it will work for 3-4 days no problem.
If I just do a clean install and load non of the microsoft updates, I have absolutely no issues.
I have tried using the ATI drivers that shipped in the CD with my motherboard. I have tried the drivers downloaded from my Gigabyte (motherboard manufacturer) as well as the latest drivers direct from ATI.
If I install the updates and try to roll back, it still crashes.
Is there something fundamentally wrong with Windows 7 and ATI?
The video card is part of the motherboard, so there is no way to remove it short of buying a new MB. I am beginning to wonder if Windows7 was just another bad Microsoft investment that I have made. Or do I just live with never doing another update as it seems stable right now. I am not looking to debug Microsofts OS as they sure are not paying me.
