UPDATE: Please see here.
I have a Sapphire HD 4830.
When I boot into XP all is initially fine and I am able to see the desktop.
However, when I click on the start bar and navigate a few steps, I receive an immediate white screen of death and a total irrecoverable lock-up.
I am confused about what this could mean and I would be grateful for any suggestions on the best course of action to test and repair the problem.
Does this sort of issue suggest that the graphics card is irretrievably broken?
