i have just reinstalled XP and i downloaded my ati drivers and rebooted, on login everything is fine, no crashing untill i open a program, it just freezes and the screen goes black nothing happens the PC is not responding to anything. so i then safemode uninstall the drivers and install my drivers from the disk i got with my graphics card. same thing happens. this has never happend before, this is a clean xp install. i have reinstalled xp twice and tried the drivers but same thing. My PC always finds a way to break. im so tempted by the macs. help
ok i did what you said now when i log on it says "catalyst controll center encounterd a problem and needs to close" then the pc crashes. so im downloading the omega drivers to see if that works

Did you unistall the Catalyst Control Center as well as the display drivers ?
Seems something is still enabled but doesn't work because it's data files are removed. Try booting into safe mode and use msonfig to disable the programs. Also, alter your resolutions and set them to standard VGA until the drivers are cleared and reinstalled afterwards.
I just reinstalled xp, the first thing i did was install my motherboard then my graphics drivers. its doing the exact same thing. when i had vista (a couple of days ago) it was not doing this
you said "reinstall" WinXP then you said you had "vista before" have you done a format to clean the hard drive or just stick the WinXP disc in and reinstall??
