    How is the AMD thing giving you major problems? Will the drivers still not install, or are you getting video corruption?

    I have Driver Sweeper already installed on my computer, and I have had great success running the utility while in safe mode in both Windows XP and Windows 7. You are getting corrupt downloads from AMD huh. Maybe you have another issue. I'd try Memtest86+.

    You would burn an ISO of Memtest86+ to a blank CD and then boot your computer into the CD and let the test run for seven complete passes assuming you didn't get any errors real quick. If after seven passes you still didn't have any memory errors, then I'd consider the memory intact. If you did get errors then you might have broken memory or your motherboard could be set up incorrectly.

    Assuming you had no memory errors, I'd then find your hard drive's "fitness" utility and test the hard drive. I'd first do the short test and if there were no errors I'd then do the long test. If either test came back with errors I'd assume the hard drive was bad.

    Uninstall the OLD video drivers. That's usually the second thing you do when you change video card brands.

    What did the error say.

    Alright so I had a ton of errors. Around 55 or so. A majority of them showed up during the 7th test while I think the remainders should up either doing the 1st or 2nd test. Does this mean I might need to replace my ram? Is there any other way to check and confirm if it is my ram or motherboard set up?

    If you had a lot of errors Yes your ram needs .Replaced. You can try pulling out one stick at a time and testing it. This way you will know if all the ram is bad or just one stick. Cinders is right. That error is due to problems with the computer.

    By test it you mean run the memtest for each stick of ram or another test?

    Run a test on each stick of ram. This will let you know if both are bad or just one.

    Tested the ram, found one of the ram to have errors so I replaced it and everything is fine now! I was able to re-downloaded my video card drivers with no problem. I no longer received the error I had been. As of now, I am not having any problems with my graphics hardware. So it seems all is great! If anything comes up I'll notify this thread but I feel much more confident knowing I have steps I can go through to test my hardware and zero in on the problem. Thanks a ton for all the help guys!

    :) I'm glad you figured out the issue. Had you not resolved the issue to one DIMM, I would have had you go into your BIOS and "Load Fail Safe Defaults," and then I would have had you double check the memory timings & voltage for the speed the motherboard set the memory at, and then had you retest the memory, but there is no need to do that now :).
