    I tried loads of things, I reinstalled the driver a few times, I chose not to install CCC a few times, when it was installed I chose to close it before gaming and I even tried to install ATT instead of CCC... Im done and Ill re-install XP x64. It's a shame since I wanted Vista for DX10 but this way I cant use it anyway.

    Great job M$, luckily they're already testing Windows 7 while it seems that this particular issue (which happens to nVidia too btw) has been there since the Vista beta!

    Then to think a few years ago everyone was like avoiding XP as much as possible, well, I embrace it right now
    Yank your other two cards for now and completely get rid of Catalyst.
    1) Uninstall via control panel
    2) Remove video cards (and choose to delete driver software) out of device manager
    3) Scan for hardware changes
    4) If it comes back as an ATI whatever instead of a generic video card, go to #2 and repeat until it doesn't. You may have to do this once for each version of Catalyst you've installed since you installed Windows.
    5) Run Driver Sweeper (at guru3d, free)
    6) Reboot
    7) Run Driver Sweeper again, twice, to confirm everything is gone
    8) Reboot
    9) Ok, now you should be using Generic still and have no driver crap left over. Delete the ATI folder out of Program Files.
    10) Install an OLD version of Catalyst prior to 8.11. Preferably you go further back to like 8.6 or 8.8. 8.11 and all versions of 8.12 are seriously buggy on at least 3k and 4k series cards and I had the same issues as you until I wiped out everything and installed older drivers. Fortunately, 8.12 is only about 1-3% faster than 8.6, so you aren't missing out on much.

    Anyway, if you don't BSOD and get driver responding errors anymore, you'll know it was the dreadful 8.11/8.12 fiasco to blame. Install your other cards again.

    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
