Hi all. I keep getting this error !
display driver amd driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
The error occours randomly and not under any stress (mostly when web browsing) It happens at stock settings including bios.
I have tried several driver versions and reinstalled os more times than i care to remember.
googled it and seems its been around for a while but can't find any answers.

Well i have spent the last two days on this now to no avail.
Will be contacting overclockers tomorrow to get it returned.

 

[ahenners]

Is it overclocked at all?

If not it could be caused by something else in your system other than your graphics card. I had this problem with my 4870 last year and it turned out to be a faulty stick of memory.

Any chance you being able to test it in another machine? That way you can be sure its the graphics card before you send to overclockers

 

[dregan]

No its at stock speeds.

I have tried removing individual sticks of memory

Unfortunately ive not got access to another machine.

My old GTX 260 black edition was still running without issues.

Upgrades supposed to be an enjoyable experiance isnt it

Have you tried locking the pci-e lane to 101Mhz?

Faulty hardware happens

Good luck with the replacement!

And ask for the postage refund back!!!!!

 

[dregan]

Im not too bothered about the postage, just so long as this one works.

 

[Ezyryder]

Well, its your money, if I were you I would be dropping them a line on the customer forum in here, that is how I did it and got my £3, £4 back. Every little counts
