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.

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

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! :angry: 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

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

    • yeah it seems to be Edge only. The dialog buttons work as expected in Chrome and Firefox. The phone is using Android 16 (OneUI 8.5) and Edge version  149.0.4022.53
    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
