System locks up when I try to install Catalyst ....
......& never gets past the 'checking system' stage
I am having major problem trying to install Catalyst on a new system I have put together. The system locks up completely when I try to install the Catalyst control centre. The progress bar stops after about 5 seconds. No mouse movement, no disk activity, Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work. Have to press the reset button. I have the same problem using the drivers that came on the CDRom, or using the latest drivers downloaded. I have only been able to install the basic display drivers by letting Windows pull them off the CDRom.

What are the specs of your power supply (brand, watts etc.). |

The card is a Sapphire HD 5770 on a Gigabyte GA X58 UD3R Board.... http://forums.amd.com/game/messagevi...nterthr ead=y |

Yep! I have tried installing Catalyst from the command line, and this locks the system up too..... |

And more important is it a noname PS or a brand one? |

Dodgy PCI-E slot on the motherboard. I tried installing an nVidia card in the same slot and the system froze after nVidia drivers were installed. Moving it to the second slot - no problems as yet. |

For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to
be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.

Make sure your BIOS settings are correct for what you are trying to do. It could be that the slot you suspect of being dodgy might not have the proper settings for your card. |
