Perfect Reason is on a distinguished road

Drivers downloaded and installed successfully.
However upon reboot the monitor goes black after the windows loading when its supposed to enter my Winxp (32bit) loading screen. And the fan on the card starts going really fast. (Easily heard). Tried rebooting 4-5 times and booting in the safemode to check things out. Everything seemed ok.

I have XFX 7950GX2 Extreme with Core2duo E6600 and Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 HK.
Going back to 91.47 fixed the problem (however i have experienced the same problem ONCE with these drivers as well, but never again) I also have latest bios (F4) and chipsett drivers for my HK.

Dunno how to fix this . Need help cus it seems like this driver is a nice improvement.

A clean install should do the trick!

You know just as well as anybody else that only after surfing the internet once, your PC isn't clean anymore, so this is what you can try!

1. Cut down all your overclocking options to default values and reset your PC!
2. Install the latest bios en firmwares for ALL of your hardware and reset your PC!
3. Reset your bios settings to defaults and reset your PC!
4. Reformat your partition and reset your PC!
5. Install Windows XP SP2 and update FULLY by Windows Update and reset your PC!
5.5 (After this stage I usually make an image of my partition!)
6. Install the latest chipset-drivers for your motherboard and reset your PC!
7. Install the video-drivers and reset your PC!

Now, if that doesn't work, something's really wrong with your rig!
