Now here's an issue. I am currently running an Nvidia Geforce 250 GTS. I have uninstalled the drivers and am using generic for display. I just recieved my Sapphire Radeon 6870. I installed it onto my motherboard and whatnot, correct port, correct cables etc. I boot it up, and it "freezes" on the windows logo screen, I can hear windows in the background and whatnot. Any help? I have also tried(since I downloaded the drivers for the 6870 yesterday) ran it in safe mode and attempted to install the drivers for it, but the detection couldn't run. Any help? My dad is probably going to come this weekend(probably to re-install windows...Fuck...) and fix it, but I want to try to see if there is a way to get this to work without re-installing Win-7.

Does your motherboard have a video output? If so, try that, install the drivers, then restart with the screen in the ATI card

I got it to work, drivers installed etc everything, but now I can't play any games! The display driver keeps crashing Everytime I launch ANY game, it crashes

Try use Driver Sweeper to make sure all the old video drivers are gone.

Are you using the driver given by Saphire or AMD? Try using AMD's driver...

A quick look around on Google shows that alot of people have trouble with Saphire's card.

Yeah you need to cleanup all remaining nVidia drivers, and if that wont help you will need to reinstall windows. Trust me a fresh install does wonders. Ive seen people dumping good hardware just because their system was not working right, which is silly.

Here is the one of good solution how to remove nvidia drivers. Make sure you remove DISPLAY drivers only, and not all of them, in case yo have nvidia chipset ( which is most likely )
Or, you can remove them all, but make sure you reinstall chipset drivers later ( DONT REINSTALL GRAPHIC DRIVERS AGAIN )
