I previously had a Radeon 5850 in this new build which worked fine for the two weeks I was using it, but I decided to switch to a Radeon 4890 due to compatibility issues with my Apple Cinema Display. Since Saturday, when I put the 4890 in my computer, every time I wake the computer from sleep, after a few seconds the screen becomes scrambled and then the computer blue screens and automatically reboots -- not leaving me enough time to read what the message says. For a few seconds I do have use of the computer before the screen becomes scrambled. Does this sound like an issue with the video card? I never had any problems waking from sleep with the 5850.

This was just an issue with the driver I guess. Sapphire told me to uninstall and reinstall the Catalyst software and that fixed the issue.
