Okay.. But i dont see how that would solve the problem?

The 4800 drivers need to be installed anyways?

"i am a n00b, so be patient with me"

I had the same problem, except I have a Radeon 4870 X2. I would get into Windows 7, but then as soon as the Catalyst drivers would load it would BSOD on me.

I went into Windows 7 safe mode, disabled the video cards and rebooted.

I was then able to enter Windows 7 in a normal startup, uninstall the ATI Catalyst manager and re-install the new Windows 7 drivers (dated 22OCT2009 I think on ATI's website).

Rebooted and it works fine for me now.

Please note, my video card (Radeon 4870 X2) IS on the supported hardware list on Microsofts website... not sure if this has anything to do with my success on this machine, since my other machine is not having the success that this one did... and I think it's due to lack of hardware support on Windows 7.

Thanks for the answer.. But i am affraid we are not having the same problem. My computer wont even load the log-on screen. It just shows the windows 7 logo for hours.

Is there know problems with Ati and Home Premium?
I had no problem in RC candidate ever.. With 4870, 4890 or even 4890 in crossfirex

Aahh okay.. I tried installing the official Ati drivers the first time.. Second time i let it update it self with the drivers via windows update..

Mr. King beat me to it!

Yes, does it work?

No... I have tried it but it doesnt work...

I am somewhat amazed... What the hell could be wrong.

I just installed the RC candidate and the same problem occurs?

OMG!

You wont believe what just happened!

I put my old 4870 back in and now it suddenly works?

I am like:" Wtf?"
