Hi,

After long periods of idle I will get a BSOD due to the 7970, any thoughts?

I leave the PC on 24/7, so just every so often when I return to it in the morning it has a BSOD.

Cheers
 
Just checked AMD website, yes I have 12.3

It was happening before I upgraded to this driver too.

I also noticed something odd, I was up to about 4am last weekend and the fan went into overdrive for 20 seconds, massive change in sound. I think I was playing Diablo II - hardly an effort for my PC.

no I haven't, I will have a look into that.

Maybe in ULPS mode the fan is not spinning, it overheats and has to catch up - if it fails to do that it blue screens? (wild theory!)
