Hi I'm new to this website but seems that I try looking everywhere for my answer.

Ok so I've installed the latest driver for my ati radeon x700 video card and everytime I reboot, my pc shuts down right before loading the welcome screen.

I have tried drivercleaner and omega drivers but seems that this problem doesn't go away. I took a print screen picture so you can see. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Neat. First problem, you don't have some of your chipset drivers installed...give us model and manufacturer of your computer or motherboard, and we can help you sort that out.

Try this: completely uninstall all ATI drivers, boot to Safe Mode, and run driver cleaner there for ATI.

Tried that already..............I got an asus a7n8x deluxe, 500 watt psu, amd athlon xp 2400 with 1gb of ram

Ok, install these:
http://www.nvidia.co...winxp_5.10.html
assuming you have Windows XP, and let's see what effect that has on the problem.

k I'm doing that now.

[ivaniam]

nope....................restarted and it still shows the multiple list of video controllers.

[Kurenai]

Is it still showing the smbus controller and ethernet controller under other devices?

Also: Do you currently have listings for ATI in Add/Remove Programs?

[ivaniam]

yeah those 2 came off...............no there's no ati software on add/remove.

Alright, cool. Now that you've got the proper chipset drivers installed, run DC in safe mode again, reboot to normal mode, and try installing the latest ATI drivers for that card. Let's see what happens.

Also: I'm guessing you've tried right clicking on the cards in device manager, selecting "uninstall," and restarting, and it has no effect, correct?

[ivaniam]

yeah I've tried that but haven't installed drivers in safe mode. I'll do that now.

[ivaniam]

nothing, does the same, had to uninstall driver and run driver cleaner.

[Kurenai]

well...does it work even though it's showing multiple cards like that?

[ivaniam]

No it shuts down before the welcome screen. ok I switched cable from dvi to vga..........there was 2 listed rather than 8...................could be a video card hardware problem??
