Display Driver Not Responding

Just building a new system, overclocked I5 750 bundle, corsair hx650w, xfx radeon 5750 on win 7 and I get the display driver not responding/recovered error now and again.

Still in the testing stage at the moment, but the cpu vcore when I received the overclocked bundle was 1.3475 (or something similar) which seemed a little high from reading on here. Dropped it down to 1.28v, ran prime 95 and got display driver error a couple of times, upped the vcore a little more, ran tests again, got the error once. Upped the vcore slightly again (about 1.29v now I think), ran prime 95, furmark, ibt, etc got no errors and all was ok for a couple of days, but then got the error again last night. However, the only time I get the error is on desktop, just doing random things, generally.

I am now wondering if it is actually the vcore or maybe more like the powerplay issue when it clocks the card down? From reading on here, I created a profile then edited the profile in notepad to use 3000/3500 for the core/memory speeds. Should the amended speeds show up in ccc? I am not sure I have done it properly, to be honest :)
 
Just in case you mean the graphics card at stock, I am not overclocking the graphics card at all. As to the cpu overlcock, not yet i haven't. Didn't really want to go down that route just yet, to be honest, because I have never overclocked before so don't really know what I am doing, which is why I bought the overclocked bundle lol

The other reason, is that this seems quite a widespread issue and not just on overclocked systems. In fact a friend of mine has just bought a 5770 running it on a stock system and he's had the same error message. Of course, that's not conclusive, I know, but it just seems a fairly common issue affecting a fair few systems, not just overclocked ones. It would also be interesting to see if anyone has only had these issues since a certain set of drivers, perhaps?

I will go to stock if all else fails, but I'd like to explore a few other avenues first.

Cheers.
 
Well as you can see from my sig, i'm running a 5770 and i've not had any errors! :p

You might well have some bad RAM, or a dodgy CPU/motherboard. It's not necessarily the graphics card at fault, despite the fact that the driver seems to be giving the error.

I'd personally run it at stock for a bit and see what happens.
 
Yeah, I am sure there a plenty of people who haven't had the error! lol

Would faulty ram/motherboard/cpu not shown up in other testing, though? At one point I was running prime 95 and the furmark test together to try and get the display driver error, but no joy. It's only happened on normal desktop usage.
 
Been along time since I last had an ATi graphics card, (we're talking x800 series) and I had driver not responding problems all the way back then... But I did find that the Catalyst drivers had an option called VPU recovery, and if I turned it off the driver errors all disappeared, performance was good, and the card was very stable.

I dont know if current Catalyst drivers have the option to disable the VPU recovery, but back then it was more trouble than it was help... as I never once had a full on hard crash on the X800.

Worth looking to see if its still an option, and trying it?

I had a look for this, but it's not under ccc anymore. Apparently on vista and so presumably win 7, vpu recovery is built into the os and applied to all graphics cards.
