ATI Issues Fix for Grey Screening 5800 Series
As promised, ATI and AMD have issued a fix for a previously reported problem that causes grey or colored lines appearing on screens and in some cases crashing.
Users of 5800 series cards will be glad to know that ATI has released a hotfix for intermittent grey screen and vertical line corruptions that randomly appear while watching movies, playing games or when the computer is sitting idle.
The hotfix applies to Windows 7 32bit, Windows 7 64bit, Windows Vista 32bit, Windows Vista 64bit, Windows XP, Windows XP x64 and Windows XP Media Center.
Click here to download the hotfix.
As of yet there is no word as to why some owners of 5700 series cards are seeing the same problem.

I hope they release a fix for 5700 users as well. This has been driving me crazy.
so is this purely a software/driver problem or a hardware problem?
Have told my bro not to update his new setup and install of Win7 64bit for his 5770
is this the right move for now??
fix seemed to have stabilised things for me, but theres still flickering, and there are still stripey screen crashes.
I dont think this issue is software related, everyone has the same drivers, but only some people have the problem.
