Did Windows install XFX 4890 HD? Does it state the exact same graphics card as it did before?

Ok next step is to uninstall your graphics card XFX 4890 HD driver from device manager. You could restart your computer once it's been uninstalled and see if Windows picks up your graphics card. Post back if Windows can't pick it up. If Windows does pick it up. Let Windows install your graphics card for you.

Windows has installed the drivers, no BSOD.
That pretty much means the new ATI drivers are incomparable with my PC then, correct?

It does happen. I had to download and install an older driver for my brothers ATI card. The newer drivers just didn't work well with Diablo 3.

Yeah it says the same Graphics card, Pretty sure it's the same (says 4800 series) 90% sure that's what it said before i clicked remove.

Should i go back earlier then 12.4 until i stop getting the BSOD?

You posted that after Windows installed the graphics card for you. You weren't getting anymore BSOD?

That is correct, since I'm using the Default Windows un-optimized graphics driver, I've not gotten a BSOD while loading windows.

So your problem is fixed. I would just use the Windows driver from now on if I was you.

Yes but that is something we see a lot of with video drivers. The newest is not usually the best or most stable.
BTW Mike thanks for the assist and your input as it is always welcome.

Hey, it's np rshaffer61 thanks for the praise. If we can help people and save them money. Why not eh?

[Kaito]

Thanks for the help both of you ^^
Didn't know it was ok to use windows default drivers lol

Much appreciated.

[rshaffer61]

If I can suggest maybe getting the next newest driver instead of the newest. That should be stable and not a beta version.

[MikeMason]

I'd rather use a driver from the manufacture of the graphics card. If it's giving you constant blue screens though then you're best using the windows default driver until you can find a driver which doesn't keep causing you BSOD. That's what I had to do with my brothers computer for Diablo 3. As I've already stated.

You should try what rshaffer61 has suggested.
