Radeon 5850 crashes instantly with either BFGMiner or CGMiner (Windows) #251

I have two Radeon 5850's (1 Gigabyte, 1 Asus). I have now tried Windows 7 (32 and 64-bit) and Windows XP. I have tried old and new versions of both the AMD Driver and the APP SDK for each OS, along with varying versions of both BFGMiner and CGMiner. I am in the process of loading Ubuntu. No matter what I try, the mining programs crash instantly if I launch a batch file created for the mining pool, or crash as soon as all the info in entered for the mining pool. I tried GUIMiner, which seemed to work at first, but the mining rate drops to almost nothing soon after launch. Time ranged from 30 seconds to 15 minutes. I was finally able to get BFGMiner and CGMiner not to crash instantly by changing OS compatibility within Windows 7, but I get the " invalid noonce - HW error". This happens for each card, or if the cards are in crossfire. I have tried the cards on other working mining boxes, same result. I have stress-tested the cards and had absolutely no failures. I am not overclocking the cards either. I have several other mining boxes running without issue. What am I doing wrong here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Run the latest version with:

bfgminer *your options here* --debuglog 2>debug.log

Please upload debug.log after it crashes, and post the URI for it here.
