Hi,
I just bought a HIS 6870 IceQ as an upgrade from a HD5770 I had in my system.
The new card keeps giving me a solid colour (yellow, orange, grey, black, light blue) and crashing windows. Windows does not register a crash but becomes unresponsive and requires a reboot. I do not get a grey screen and stripes as the 5800 series used to get.
This happens randomly within about 30mins of me logging into Windows. I do not need to put the system under stress for this to happen it happens while idle.
While it does work I have managed to run Furmark for 10-15min and the temps remained around 60ºC under load and about 30ºC while idle (so it is not a temperature issues).
I tried uninstalling and installing multiple type of CCC and drivers until I even completely did a clean install of win with just the basic installed (chipset drivers, raid drivers).
I have manually installed the latest radeon drivers without using CCC to take that out of the equations.
I have got a Corsair TX650W psu which is very new and was working fine with the HD5770. I have tried different cables and using different sockets in modular psu.
any other suggestions ?
System specs
i7-2600K - not overclocked
Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z (with latest bios)
Corsair HX650W psu
Corsair 8GB 2x4G CMX8GX3M2A1600C9
HIS 6870 IceQ
Windows 7 x64 SP1
Thanks
Simon
