Radeon 5770 Driver Crashes

[GK7]

Has anyone else got a problem with driver crashes in Windows 7 x64 ?

Using Cat. 9.11, I get vertical blue lines when the card is idle - there are never any crashes when the card is under load.

Curiously, this only seems to happen after a "warm" boot - from hibernation or sleep. Are there any fixes ?

Thanks

try the CD driver or the Dirt 2 Hotfix driver

It says that it's only for those experiencing problems with Dirt 2 - can I still install it ?

You can still install it, and it might fix the problem you are having. My HD 5850 is causing no problem with 09.11 under Windows 7 Pro X64.

had this with both my 5770, mailed Amd direct who advised me to RMA both cards....something to with memory timings in 2d mode ati powerplay screws it up


which brand card do you have and which cooler egg or shroud mate?

It only happens when resuming from hibernate though ?

So perhaps the problem could be sorted by improved drivers ?

I tried the Dirt 2 hotfix but that did not make a difference.

Set power settings to High Performance.

ie don't let it hibernate.

Mine happened anytime in 2d...my pc never goes to sleep so didt check that. Yeah a driver may fix the problem it may not i was told it was a memory problem so i dont know if a driver update can fix that? i didt want to hang around on the offchance of fix hope you get it sorted mate but be there is no current fix

no problem with the v2 asus with the egg cooler,and crossfired.

Seems to be the only way forward at the moment. Hopefully Cat. 9.12 will sort this problem out.

Well i have had the problem since i got my VTX ones.. Then found a guide that shows that on idle the core drops to 157mhz and as the memory stays at 1200mhz it causes it to crash. Mine has been working fine recently and what i did was create a profile in CCC then browse to the *PROFILENAME.XML file and modify the setting from 157000 to 300000 and it has not crashed since..

Thanks for this. This seems to be the cause. I just tried resuming from hibernate just now and quickly opened GPU-Z. After a few seconds, the core clock shifts into 2D idle (157) but the memory stays at 3D clocks (1200) and so causes the display error. So at least I know what the problem is.
