hey folks. i got my m17x(single 5870) 2 days ago. Everything works great no hardware issuses at all.
So to the point. i tried to install the laster ATI 5870 ati drivers but after the 'succesfully installed' message a new one popped out saying the drivers doesnt match with my hardware. the resolution went 1600x1200( there was no option for 1920x1200 anymore) so i decided to restart it. after the restart the windows was working great with the latest drivers. few minutes later the whole system stuck and i wasnt unable to do anything. i reset it 2-3 times but i was getting a black screen(mouse pointer was visible but couldnt move) but i couldnt reach the windows.
finally i chose safe mode and i did a rollback on my drivers. working like new now but i still using the default drivers.
anyone faced any similar problem or have any suggestion? any kind of help much apprieciated.
