A short while ago i had a problem with one of my Radeon-HD 6870s.
I have two of these set up in Crossfire.
The problem is only with this particular card, which at the time was the secondary card.
What would happen is the screen would go blank, the fan on the card would go full tilt and a little red LED on the card near the fan power jack would come on.
As soon as i switch the system off and rebooted all was well.
But it kept doing it, so i tried swapping slots, just having one card at a time, cards in different slots but it didnt matter it would still do it, i tried a new crossfire bridge and it still went loopy.
I RMA'ed the card to OCUK they tested it, it was fine, i put it back in the pc, disabled ULPS so i could set the fan manually to keep the temps down a bit more and all was well until today when it done it 3 times in 5 minutes.
So guys any ideas what it could be as its clearly not the board as it does it in either slot and only this particular card.
Just to recap, the screen goes blank, the fan goes to full power and a little red LED comes on, on the card.
Thanks in advance
