** Catalyst Grey Screen HOTFIX **

Reading around it seems these drivers aren't much good to the majority of sufferers.
My standard 5870 gets this GSOD under 3D when flashed with the pre-overclocked XFX XXX bios so I'm sure it's just unstable cards to blame, there's also a lot of people who are getting it under 2D voltages as well.
In my opinion to solve it they need to either increase the operating voltages under 2D/3D (most likely BIOS update) or recall all the GSODing cards.

Are there any screenshots/photos of this gray screen?

I've downloaded this an am currently doing a stability test using FurMark.
I think they must have upped the voltages or something because it is now running 10% hotter than before, but it seems to be stable so far. Time will tell.
Cripple.

Make that almost 20% hotter =/ surely that isn't good.
I never used to go above 62 degrees C, it is now at 77.
This has not solved my crashing issue, although my crash does not have lines or anything anywhere. I just keep getting "Drivers have stopped responding and have successfully recovered".
Really annoying =/

i only get it when overclocking the ram on 1 of my cards past 1280, if they bump up the ram voltage a little maybe that will sort it out
You could be right perhaps it's memory related, whatever it is it seems to be a hardware problem.
I've seen people claim to have had it before they even had chance to install the ATI drivers which would suggest it is not a driver bug.
Voltage same here?

How many people in general are getting these crashes, seems a lot.
Fortunately my 5870 has had no problems and I've been gaming quite a bit over the last few weeks, but this issue doesn't inspire much confidence. Is it something that appears as soon as you install the card or has it developed gradually?

I have a 5850 and I only got one of these grey screens when I first used the card which was last Saturday. I have since put it through its paces and yet to encounter another grey screen.
i've had my 5850 since on release , this issue happens randomly, never when gaming tho.

I've never had a crash with my 5850 but I do get the following problem.

If I shake the window around it becomes corrupt, if I turn off display while dragging it's 99% better.
I hope the 10.1 drivers help I really don't want to take anything else back to OC_UK.

Nice to see they've finally fixed (or attempted to fix) this issue.
What's disgraceful is that the timing of this means it's almost certainly a response to the criticism of their drivers in a recent Tom's Hardware article and that it took this to actually make them do something about it.

Or theyve been working o it for a while and finaly got it fixed? Theres been tons of complaints about this across multiple sites including amd's site, i doubt the thg article had much to do with the fix being pushed out.
