Sounds like an operating system problem.

I'm having the same problem with my hd4850.
Its running cool, 32c idle/45c max. Newest drivers from ATI (manually removed old nvidia drivers).
The card smokes in games, I mean its pretty fast and it runs unbelievably cool.
I have a 600w psu with 36a.
I get the black screen just surfing the net sometimes. It comes back after about 3 seconds and then I get a windows error:
"Your display driver has stopped responding and has recovered", display driver Atikmdag stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
I'm searching the forums and thats how I came accross this post. Any ideas?
