Good start by and thanks for the followup, . Since a simple uninstall/clean did not fix it, here are a few targeted steps and checks that often catch the root cause.

First, make a restore point and note your OS and whether it is 32- or 64-bit. Try a thorough remover such as Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from Safe Mode to purge all ATI/AMD remnants, then reboot and install a driver package that explicitly lists Radeon HD 3800 support (try both the official AMD package and the ASUS OEM package if available). Before installing, boot to a clean-boot state (disable 3rd-party services/startups) and temporarily disable AV/anti-malware so nothing interferes with the installer. Also verify the 3870s 6-pin PCIe power plug is firmly connected and that your PSU can handle the card.

If the PC restarts unexpectedly during install, check Event Viewer (System/Application) for errors logged at that time and paste any messages here. If problems persist, try a manual driver update via Device Manager pointing at the extracted driver files, test the card in another machine (or test a different GPU in your board) to rule out hardware/PSU issues, and update your motherboard chipset drivers and BIOS. Finally, please tell us which driver cleaner you used (as asked), the exact driver filenames/versions you tried, and your Windows version so we can suggest the next specific file to try.

Uninstall the drivers that are on there now, then use a driver cleaner in safe mode.
Once you have done that, try installing the latest drivers for your particular card.

You may want to download the latest drivers before uninstalling the old ones.
