ATI X1950PRO and Windows 7 !HELP!

[pr3m]

Okay iv been looking ALL around and still cant find a fix for this, i realize there is a bit of a support issue with the X1xxx series and windows 7 BUT i recently got a X1950PRO just 2 hours ago and still cant get it to work with windows 7 x64. this is FRUSTRATING considering i was running it FINE with a OLD ass ATI 9600 Atlantis just a few hours ago! I tried the windows drivers, the vista x64 9.1, 9.3 drivers and i keep geting the same problem! when i install the drivers it says i have to restart, i restart, the screen res is finally nice in the login screen looks beautifull then when i login it looks perfect the res is fixed looks like it worked then bam a few seconds in it freezes and my monitor refreshes and crashes and my pc reboots! im in safe mode now PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried the Vista 64 drivers?

ATI have dropped support for their DX9 only cards, including the 19XX series. You will need to locate and use an older driver.

iv tried the vista 64 bit drivers no go either. when i sucesfuly do install a driver and boot up windows 7 at the login screen the res is fixed it looks like its working then when i login after a second or so it freezes sometimes gives me the bluescreen screen crash. i dono does that mean its a PSU prob? but my PSU should be good i mean i tested it and its been working fine its a Ennermax 460W DC output +12V 33A and im only testing this with 1 HDD 2 case fans and a gig of ram no drvies pluged in at all either. i wish i can fix this damn problem and play games with my X1950 🙁 id hate to plug in my 9600 Atlantis and play with that agian...

Try 9.1 or 9.2 for vista from " Previous Drivers & Software". 9.1 worked for me!
Good luck.

Pr3m,
hi, have You solved the problem already ? I've just installed the final W 7 ultimate.. and got the same problem as Yours.. killing myself for whole day already.. checked on vista already how it works (flawless) - used to use XP Pro for quite some years.. no problems though.. only this W 7.. it looks pretty good as an OS.. but this graphic card..
