more 5970 woes

[]MadBoy[]

Got it installed, since having it the pc has been crashing left right and centre. I have tried new GFX drivers, no difference. Updated everything there is to update on the system even Mobo Bios. Currently i have done the idle hack so thats now at 300, rather than 157. WTF is going on, my 4870x2 was top notch in comparison. I didnt notice if any difference in WoW.... anyone throw any light on this? I normally get the amd display driver error as vista catches the crash, the lovely artifacts on desktop..... not happy bunny tbh.

my pc at this clock runs absolute rock solid, has done since i Bought it a year or so ago. This card just plays havoc with it

no bsod, just sparkles on desktop, screen covered in them just before the OS captures the driver error. "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

Seems to be ok since popping the 2d clock up to 300, just didnt expect all the agro that goes with this family
All benchies are fine.

2 months on and still issues. It normally crashes out of game on the first start up then on restart it runs fine. This is now pretty common place. I decided to uninstall and sweep drivers and reinstall today. Now I am back to getting artifacts on desktop. Not tried any games as such. Might try a fresh install to rule out dodgy drivers/reg. Not sure if my ambx stuff is playing up causing this. Big pain in the ass lol

corsair hx1000, running the card on the hardwired connectors, not modular.

almost seems like a cold bug... once the temperature is up on the card it seems to be fine.

Update, installed win7 64bit. Seemed ok for a day @oc values. Then started to play up with the atikmd error. But unlike vista it didn't result in an hard crash. Decided to stock everything, things working fine apart from the weird bc2 issues. Installed the 10.4's today, pute is oc'd but runs faultless at the mo. Still getting minor texture issues on bc2. Apart from that all seems well temps fine, only difference is drivers and not clocked the CPU as high.
