Sandok will become famous soon enoughSandok will become famous soon enough

Hmmm try driver cleaner as BMX said... Otherwise, try the vid card in another PC to find out if it's the card the problem.

All you really need to do is uninstall the drivers, and reboot into normal mode. This way you'd at least be able to find out if it is a driver problem.

Also, double check what other software is starting up. Could be a conflict. Disable the startup items one by one until you have figured out which program it could be giving you probs.

In relation to this, what was the last program you installed, or last thing you did before this started happening? Does this problem happen when you do a cold boot (where the system is shut down), or when you reboot?

-Tip

PS. i removed my 5.1 drivers when they did this!!!(uno black screens and lagging) and rebooted in normal mode (widows was useing generic drivers) and there was no black screens with welcome screens and related user activities ! so i have rurled it out plain and simple!

Omegas are causeing a problem! i hope Omegas`5.5 will fix this!

Omega's don't cause problems like that. Only people who mess up the installation somehow.

Aye, use driver cleaner, especially after using the 5.1's they were the screwyest set yet, and probably left a whole bunch of unneeded crap. Also defrag, but if nothing else works, then just reformat.

Yep, simple as that, all drivercleaner does is clean up all the files that the Catalyst drivers install.

I don't think this is an Omega driver bug, I think it is user error.
