Default Display Loss after driver installation of 4870 x2

Was trying to look for items to sell, when I saw my 4870 x2, just wanted to confirm it was working, but it seems, after I plug in the Asus 4870 x2, it boots up fine, I am able to install the drivers in Windows, but after Windows restart, monitor loses display just when Windows complete the loading screen.

It happens with Vista and XP sp3. Its an old issue actually just that I forgot to address the problem and went on to using my other cards. Have tried a few different drivers. I hope some1 has faced this problem and knows of a solution.......
