I have an Ati Radeon 6850 and every time i run any of the penumbra games from steam the screen blinks black then my mouse turns black then it says the display driver stopped working but it recovered. My monitor is a 1680x1050.

Nvidia Physx is a Physics processing technology that is required by some games. Penumbra uses such technology, and since you have an ATI card, im guessing you dont have it installed. Google up nvidia Physx and install the latest package, check if that fixes your issues. I remember trying to start Metro 2033 without physx installed, I just got a black screen and an error.
