I recently got a mint condition XFX 6950 2GB from ebay. The card looks great but apparently had many software issues. First, I couldn't install any of the AMD drivers without getting the BSOD related to atikmpag.sys. I fixed the problem by doing the whole expand the AMD files and moving them to system32. The next problem I faced is drivers and artifacting. There are white lines running down my screen. Although the BSOD is now gone, the AMD drivers don't load and say that the drivers have improperly been installed on the system. I have installed drivers atleast 6 times and installed all the WHQL versions. I have no idea what to do anymore and any help is appreciated. Also, I have the lated Direct X as well as the latest .net framework. Thanks in advance.
