I`m frustrated!!Can`t make a new Radeon HD 2600XT work in Vista!!

Hy,i just bought a new Radeon HD 2600 XT 512 DDR3.However it just dosn`t work.
Vista recognises the Card and starts installing the device automatically.But
it stops in between and gives me these errors:

i`m havind an AMD Athlon 64 3200+,ATI Xpress 200 Integrated Graphics.I tried
changing the PSU to670 Watts,disabling the shared graphics in BIOS,installing
the device in safe mode,updating it`s drivers,installing KB 936710,KB
938194,KB 938979 and KB 940105. When i plugg in the card to my PCIe slot and
restart the system,it takes about 5 minutes to log on.Every thing has slowed
down,even the mouse and the cursor.The PC now always utilises 100% CPU all
the time and every thing is damn slow.When the card is removed,evrything is
perfect.What`s happening here?is there any conflicts?

so were u having the same symptoms? i tried it today again..it installed
without any problems.it then asked me to restart..so then i restarted and i`m
having the same issue(slow PC and 100% CPU).No other problems encountered.If
possible can you tell me what`s the driver version for your 2600XT which
worked.

I used the 7-11 version to correct the problem I was having, different from yours.
mine was constantly crashing.

might totally uninstall the ATI stuff, reboot and try installing it again.

the 7-11 drivers worked for me on hd2600xt and hd2900xt.
