Hi all

This is really warning for all those who are running motherboards using the 780g chipset.

I have just installed the latest 8.7 catalyst drivers (not the betas) onto my system - The result was a bsod on rebooting. :mad:

I have had a quick look around the net and have found others reporting similar issues. So if you want to try this driver I would suggest ghosting your system first - it could save a lot of pain.

If anybody does get it to work I would be interested to hear ur results

    works fine here for the moment...running this combo (F5-Bios) for a couple of days now on vista32, no BSOD (like with 8.6 and pre-8.7) yet.

    So 8.7 and XP are not happy playing together. Hmm.

    I didn't get the BSOD.... just an instant reset when it started to boot the OS then go into safe mode.... had to uninstall and roll back to the install disk version. I'm bummed.:(

    XP MCE2005 ru2 sp3 etc. Gigabyte 78GM-S2H
