Hi,
I can run my MSI 7850 TFIV at 1200/1350, 1.25V, and it passes all benches I throw at it no problem (Heaven on loop, 3dmark11, etc). But it sometimes crashes (about 30% of the time) when first loading a game, I think at the point when it switches from 2D to 3D mode. It freezes up with the 'display driver stopped responding' message, when I ctrl-alt-del out.
The odd thing is that if I get past the first few seconds in 3D mode, I can then game for hours and it never crashes! It also sometimes crashes at idle, running aero effects, at higher clock frequencies. The only way I can get it totally stable in both 3D and 2D is to have it at around 1125/1350 or lower.
Does anyone have any idea why it might be stable when it gets going, but not on the transition from 2D to 3D, and is there anything I can do about it? I've tried lowering memory clock, different drivers (12.3, 12.4, 12.6) but it's the same.
Thanks!
