So I can't get the game to stop crashing due to something with my video card. I have a X1800XT with the bios flashed to X1800XT PE speeds so it is overclocked but this should be stable as I've been running it for over a year and never had any problems with other games. I start to play the game with decent fps at 1360x766 on high settings and then it will just freeze up. Then the graphics card appears to shut off saying that "no signal is detected" then turns back on and ATI recover tool reports that it crashed. Happens right in the beginning of the game.

I'm using the latest ATI drivers but they're dated as 8/13 on ATI's website and in my device manager the date of drivers is 7/23. Also applied a hotfix for Bioshock that was on ATI's site but it didn't seem to do anything. Are there beta drivers or something that I should be running?

Edit-- Was tired before when I did all that and didn't realize the hotfix was actually a new set of drivers so the install I did on them was not clean. Trying it over again.
