Since installing cat 12.6 my pc (windforce 7950) keeps crashing to a plain blue screen , the same blue as the light blue on this forum . not when gaming but when in 2d mode . Any ideas ??
 
Yeah I had trouble tonight after installing 12.6.

I was using 12.3 before which was solid for me so have rolled back.
 
I'll give the 12.7 betas a go and if they dont work back to 12.4 it is then :(

I thought quarterly driver rollout was supposed to stop this sort of thing happening ? guess not !

Does it have horizontal lines? I get that if I have the memory overclocked too much with 12.6. Never happened before I changed drivers.
 
It's still happening even with 12.7 beta . The card is stable when OC'd doing all benchmarks and gaming and only crashes in 2d when surfing or at desktop . I had no problems with cat 12.4 !
I will go back to 12.4 but that really does'nt help .
I think its time to get drastic and and do a fresh windows install . Its been 18 months !


just like to add i only overclock using stock volts and there are no heat issues , even overclocked i never reach standard reference temps

I get the same thing when I OC the memory too far. It's fine in 3D mode, crashes to a light blue screen when surfing etc. I would try lowering your memory OC, that fixed the problem for me.
