7970 Issue

The system will crash in my System (in my spec ) but also in my friends i5 2500k system in the same fashion. The strange thing is though its hard to reproduce it will happen in different places at different times.

EDIT: Meant different places not in different ways.


and thanks for the help so far guys, really appreciate it.

Also last few times I have noticed it crashes when 3dmark11 or heaven has finished benchmarking or looping and when the system is returning to the desktop.

So it just freezes on whatever is currently being displayed on screen? Any picture distortions?

No picture distortion. Just freezed on what was displayed. Also mouse/keyboard unresponsive (e.g can't change caps lock posistion) System fans still go and USB ports are still being powered as all things still lit up. GPU fans still go around. It could just be a display freeze but surely keyboard/mouse would still be responsive for instance caps lock posistion should be changable.

I could try remoteing in on the next system crash.

Just noticed everytime I load up GPU-Z after a bench result to check results thats causing system to crash.

Just checked can't remote in either when it crashes.
 
Also realised everytime I have had a system crash, I have had GPU-Z running or as I open it. But if I open GPU-Z without any things open its fine, it seems to be when it switches from a game or benchmarker programer back to gpu-z the system crashes. But its funny as its only with this 1 card!
