Attention Everyone Don't Get The New 8.6 Drivers It Has A Bug That Stops Your Display Driver From Responding And Your Computer Will Blue Screen So Far The Driver Crashes All All Games I Have Tried: Audiosurf, And All Of The Vista Games On My Computer, And As Far As I Know I Ran into This On x64 Vista SP1 Ultimate I Don't Know About x86 Though.

Try using something like driver cleaner and reinstalling the drivers.

Trust Me I Already Know It's 8.6 Because 8.5 Didn't Have This Issue And Without Any Driver Installed My Games Work, So It's Something On ATI's End.

Same issue here after installing ATI Catalyst build 8.6 on my Radeon 3850 Madden 08 willl not load up right. It freezes

I had no issues with 8.5, 8.4, 8.3 and so on.

I am running Vista 32bit

And I.






Have the same problem.


>_<

Hi all,

I am new here!

I wish I came across this post earlier. I spent all day pulling my hair out over this one! I was almost coming to the conclusion that my graphics card was playing up. I did everything possible and not thinking it would be a driver fault!

Blast you ATI, don't you test the drivers before releasing them! Anyway, I have since put 8.4 on and it is running very nice........

I have send an email to ATI expressing my anger on this one.........

Stop angering and just download the quickfix 8.6 driver (which is meant for 48xx cards) - it fixed my problems with VPU Recovery errors.

I've had similar problems with 8.6 after the upgrade from 8.5. Oh and btw - I have an X1950XTX so it works with all ATi cards.

Hi PrEzi,

Your link does not work (it brings up a timeout error message). Also, will it work with the Radeon X1800 series?

Cheers

XP
Vista

OK, I've figured out, that it is session-based.
Just go to amd.com - choose support and drivers, then in the left pane select graphic support and search for the 4800 quickfix item Topic #: 737-35298





Hotlinking doesn't work with ATi.

Go to amd.com choose support and drivers and search for Topic #: 737-35298

Hmm yeah, it seems so. Well i only got the links off guru3d thinking they would get it right

Look for "Radeon™ HD 4800 Series Hotfix"

Thank god I wasn't alone, I'd been suffering random BSOD's in all my PC games since installing this set and am now just about to go back to the much more stable 8.5's instead. I have a 3870 though so the hotifx is of no use to me.

8.6. They are just plain nasty.
