Is this a big issue for anyone else as im on cat 10.2's fresh install of windows 7 and the cursor keeps going huge and i cant get it back down, there is a hot fix but its from 2009! any ideas?
 
if you're on latest drivers, this shouldn't be an issue. as you said, the hotfix was released in 09, and that fix has been in every driver since
 
A bios upgrade on my Gigabyte UD5 board fixed this completely, definitely for certain, as it also fixed that crashing in full screen video playback. The large mouse may not be down to your card...
 
Yup, I still get it with every driver set, well not seen if I get it on 10.3 or not.

Disable powerplay and no issues with video playback crashes, flickering on second screen nor the big mouse pointer.... i really don't know why the last one occurs, its truly bizarre.

Either way gpu clock tool from techreport's site, on booting just set your default 3d clocks, or whatever you want, 400/900 seems to work for some people, I still got the flickering by not mouse/crashing at that speed but everything works fine at 550/1000.

I now use MSI afterburner to set those clocks but a lower voltage(which is where most of the power saving from powerplay comes from), because it doesn't get unstable for me under doing basic things, largely because its not under full load.

I have a few profiles set up as you can save 5 and change them at a touch of a button. I have 777/1000 with lower voltage for windows use, 900/1225 and 1.2v for most games and for and it does fine at 950/1250/1.25v when my rooms not baking hot to start with, all without getting silly loud.

Disabling powerplay 100% certainly fixes the big mouse and video playback crashing, as others have said its probably an issue with mobo/bios, but running an older DFI bios that I haven't seen an update for in a long time.
 
Yes, flashing loses the OCUK profiles. I photographed each bios screen on my phone first so I could recreate it afterwards.

As I said, it fixed the mouse cursor problem, and if you google around you will find other people who had the same experiance.

And yes, I was at 4.0Ghz from the word go in December. However I am currently back at stock because I have found issues with the board wiping it's own bios out when returning from a Sleep situation. Support have advised me to try and rule out the overclock settings, but it will take a week or two to prove that its the overclock that causes the board to wipe it's bios when sleeping.
 
Tried msi afterburner but i had loads of issues with it, im gonna have to flash the bios which i dont want to do, i cant understand how a massive mouse corsor is bios related though.
 
had the same problem myself and the only cure was bios flash. as i was told when i post a quer over this,

It's a known bug that occurs when you have the following combo:

p55 mobo
win7
hd5xxx card

dunno what your setup is but if its the same as above then bios update is the only way to go i'm afraid
