wel i played metro 2033 on my pc using 8600 gt graphic card ..no problem bt the game dont work with ati 6850...(ati driver(atimpag.sys) stops working)

and i recently brought crysis 2.... as soon as i started the game after the developer logo the game hanged each and every time... crysis2 benchmark dosent work stating OpenAutomatePlugin.dll failed to load.... then i tried with 8600 gt and it worked.... then i applied no intro patch and game worked even on 6850.......

m realy geting sick of this .... plz tel whether my 6850 might be faulty or ati drivers seems not to be working.......( dragon age origin, metro 2033 and cod:Black ops only hang or crash stating ati drivers stopped working even though i am using latest drivers..)

the pc secification are - core i-5, 2gb ddr -3 ram , 6850 gpu , corsair vx 450 , 320 gb hdd...

Did u reinstall the OS after installing the new GPU?

If not, did u use drive sweeper after uninstalling nvidia drivers & before installing ati catalyst ?

I guess you're facing a lot of issues. Only solution is a clean format and going with AMD Catalyst 11.4 with CAP.

Then some of the memory module of the card is faulty. I had the same issue with my HD 5770 and I RMAed it. Do one thing, add the card to any other system, provided the system has a good PSU and try the games. It it crashes again then it is a hardware issue...send the card for RMA.

Even I had faced issues with Sapphire 6850. Got it replaced with Sapphire 6850 toxic.

Seems too many sapphire 6850 are giving issues...
