......& never gets past the 'checking system' stage

I am having major problem trying to install Catalyst on a new system I
have put together. The system locks up completely when I try to install
the Catalyst control centre. The progress bar stops after about 5
seconds. No mouse movement, no disk activity, Ctrl-Alt-Del does not
work. Have to press the reset button.

I have the same problem using the drivers that came on the CDRom, or
using the latest drivers downloaded.

I have only been able to install the basic display drivers by letting
Windows pull them off the CDRom.

System Specs:

i7-930 Processor
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard
Sapphire HD 5770 Video Card
Windows XP Home
Benq display running at 1920 x 1080

You did actually plug in the power cable(s) of the video card? What are the
specs of your power supply (brand, watts etc.).

Yes, the power cable is plugged in. The card works, I just can't install
Catalyst Control centre. I am using the basic display drivers.

The card is a Sapphire HD 5770 on a Gigabyte GA X58 UD3R Board....

Have you installed the motherboard chipset drivers?

Yep!

I have tried installing Catalyst from the command line, and this locks
the system up too.....
