Turns out nothing is wrong with my computer, my power supply, or my settings. The catalyst drivers from 6.5 and on have problems with AGP cards, especially with VIA chipset motherboards, which is what I have. ATI has finally received enough complaints about this problem to acknowledge it as a bug and create a knowledge base article (article 737-22933) and they are working on fixing the issue. Wanted to bump this for anyone who is shopping for a new AGP card to take into consideration, and to maybe save a lot of troubleshooting time for someone who already bought a new AGP card from ATI and is having problems getting it to work. Use catalyst 6.4 for now if you are having problems with your ATI AGP card.

I have x800 xtpe and am currently running on Cat 6.7 with a VIA VT800 chipset. So far, I've not had any issues.

I did experience the bootup issue mentioned in the article however I attributed it to something else.

So far, I've not had any issues since the nightfall update.

Hey btw... Im using x1600 also on agp...

Ive never had any kind of good luck with 6.5 and up... I went back to 6.4 and its working fine again.

I also uninstalled the CCC and just have the drivers now-> CCC doesnt like my computer for some reason.

6.4 is also the best one ive found for Oblivion, although I got bored of that game long ago, it really got my cpu in shape for maxing out GW to the max
