Hi all,
I cannot get recent ATI drivers to work for my XFX HD Radeon 4850 card. After going through proper protocol for un/reinstalling drivers, I get a weird BSOD error within a couple minutes after startup. I ran into this issue a few months ago and just reverted back to the old drivers, but I've since upgraded my motherboard and want to get the most up-to-date drivers working.
Specs:
ASUS M4A88T-M rev 2.01
AMD Phenom II X4 960T 3.0 GHz
XFX Radeon HD 4850
XFX 650W Modular PSU
16 GB RAM (Corsair Vengeance DDR1600 PC12800 4 x 4GB)
Hitachi 500 GB 7200 RPM HDD
Windows Home Premium 64-Bit SP1
If I use AMD Catalyst Install Manager in Control Panel to uninstall just the Vision Control Center, leaving the drivers and other utilities intact, I'm able to run the system without issue. However, there's little to no fan control as a result; I can run my CPU at about 32C idle, and the GPU sits at about 52-54 idle, but it jumps up to about 85C under load and the fan runs incredibly high.
To alleviate the fan issue, I tried upgrading to 12.2, but I'm encountering the same error when trying to get Catalyst/Vision Control Center running. The screen goes blank, I turn the monitor off and back on, and the computer reboots. Here's the full BSOD error:

AMD Support was useless. They told me to upgrade from 12.1 to 12.2, reseat my RAM, and install some security updates. I've gone through and done a complete reinstall of the drivers -- including using Driver Sweeper, CCleaner, and deleting the ATI folders from Program Files. I also did a clean reinstall of all the .NET framework packages. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
