Milkyway now has an official ATI application available. To use it you need Boinc 6.10.13 or above and the ATI9.12 drivers. Just attach to the project and change your MW preferrences to reflect that you want to use the ATI GPU.

Crashes within seconds on my 4770.
Might be because I have collatz running also.
My 4870 also took it up right away, even with collatz running.
There must be a big difference between the two cards.
Both are running on mine with no problems. I suggest you take a look at your Collatz WUs. See if it says.
collatz 2.06 (ati13amd)
If it does then you need to update the drivers to the 9 series. I suggest 9.12.
The reason is that Collatz can determine which driver you use and download the correct application. Milkyway only has an application for the 9 series of drivers. There was a change in the names of some files with the series change.

Updated to the latest drivers as soon as the crash occurred. Am waiting for the collatz WUs to complete until I try again. Collatz WUs say (ati13ati), I assume those are the most recent.
The 4770's has a special driver when I get them at the ATI site. All the others have a "series" driver. Maybe there is a specific problem with the 4770s.
Got 2 minutes to chime in while sorting millions of problems with other things so before my brain explodes this is relaxation and hopefully a plain answer.
Are the new Milky stuff better cos last time I tried, it took over most of bonk and comp as well as ATI 4850 (need to get something better from new series). So Collatz or MW instead of F@H on graphics card and comp? Also running 8 LLRNET windows/service and WCG on Bonk all on I7 (now well cooled) @3.6Ghz very easily. Mebbe go for new 57series ATI but not other newies cos the way too expensive.
Check in later guys cos I'm working (unpaid) from home for a few days so no real hurry for doing my little bit for Free-DC
Like an ol` 8086, slow but serviceable.

The new MW app is working fine with Collatz running as a backup. Any of the cards will add an awsome amount of credit on a daily basis.

Try it when I get time after checking proj site etc.
Doing a lot of heavy duty brain work and phone just now so mebbe a couple days when I get an hour to spare/remember. Always checking in here,odd minutes
Cheers and beers mate. Later.
PS... Playing with (supplied) Google phone. It's good but poor camera and few other things. Otherwise early days but smacker of an interface from Google etc. Good on net anyway.
