Is this why I keep getting an "Installer integrity failed" error?

 

[95Viper]

Yep, looks like a few bytes short of a complete package.

Go to the official site. www.amd.com The official drivers are there and are called 10.3. 10.3a came before the 10.3's. 10.3b just came out today and adresses a couple issues and has support for the 5870 Eyefinity model.

Holy crap, never seen anything like that before.
I would RMA if this driver doesn't fix it.

+1 Definitely. Tbh I don't think that's a driver issue.
Nearly gave me an epileptic fit, and I don't suffer from epilepsy.

I get that occasionally on my ASUS 5850 but only when I OC and only since installing 10.3a. I've yet to try any other driver.

Do you run the card overclocked?

Download fixed 112.9 Meg. a big difference from 40.3.

Edit: deleted link - use use link in ops 1st post - sorry

LOL, nah I don't think its a driver issue, but now no one can say I haven't tried to fix this dam card. When i have mentioned the flickering to others, i think they thought it was just an odd linw now and then, so i had to make a video.
Strange thing is this is intermittent sometimes it does flicker and others its ok and it flickers differently in every game/app.

Either way its RMA time but i just have one of those heads that likes to know WHY it doesn't work!

@triplex_MTL i have tried over-clocking and if i over clock the card just crashes after 5 mins of play. So i havent bothered recently but in all honesty i SHOULD be able to overclock even if its only 5 mhz.

 

[EastCoasthandle]

So do I install this or wait for the fix that will decrease load times in BC2?

 

[Divide Overflow]

That will probably be a hotfix patch instead of a complete driver package.

sorry to see that happening.

You should send that video to someone and say check out my mad video editing skillz!

I agree you should be able to OC without this happening and if it's happening at stock clocks Id send it back. Mine is stable at stock right now but I will send it back if things worsen.

Did you try re-booting?

 

[Black Panther]

Did you try re-booting?

Yup

Do I need to install the Control Centre separately perhaps?

 

[95Viper]

Do you have catalyst control center on you start menu, if yes, open it and run CCC - wizard.

If you mention a wizard, it shows up.

 

[Black Panther]

It's not there. The only options I get are:

-Run ATI Problem Report Wizard
-Uninstall ATI Problem Report Wizard
