100% perfect..And sleep have never worked on windows properly.
Good point though, could be conflicts with windows 7 drivers?

Most of them get updated when this happens.
And there's quite a lot of places where people say uninstalling a driver or installing a later version without installing a new one causes just as many problems.
These programs only exist because vendors don't anlways clean up after themselves and are lazy and sometimes don't bother cleaning everything up. I personally started using leaner programs when the nvidia 8800 came out and their drivers were leaving crap lying around which windows was using so you were getting some components using old version and new stuff which was causing those GPU not responding messages.

I've not used a driver cleaner for years, and I've never encountered a problem.
this is what get's me confused, people think when they get a new card the person will shuddery overclocked, overvolted card before testing it fully. most people don't do that. also the OP didn't even say he overclocked it.
he was getting issues with stock bios/stock clocks.
as for flashing if he was getting issues with stock bios, theres no harm in trying another bios to see if it fixs or helps with the issue/problem
Follow up to my above post. I've just changed my PCI frequency in the bios to 100 (was 101) then tried Crysis again.
This was the result in under 5 minutes of gameplay. Computer remains on, fans and everything still going. Absolutely no response from the PC. have to restart.

you flash your bios, you take your chances
Its running the original Gigabyte bios. This problem is isolated to Crysis Warhead and Wars it seems.
The card isn't overheating, all my other games are working no problem, this problem still occurs under stock clocks which brings me to the conclusion its a driver issue.
Flashing the bios has bot all to do with this.

this is the screen i encountered yesterday after playing WAW for an hour (just received artillary strike too
)but my card was overclocked so returned it to default and it's been fine sinse
i get this sometimes.Follow up to my above post. I've just changed my PCI frequency in the bios to 100 (was 101) then tried Crysis again.

chance of what?
as i said above if the person was getting issues with stock bios/stock clocks, theres no harm in trying another bios to see if it fixs or helps with the issue/problem.

well you wouldnt flash a gigabyte mother board with a asus bios would you, why on earth when your getting problems at stock you would flash another manufactures bios on to the the card is beyond me, i would have rma'ed it straight away

Are you increasing the FSB?
As at 100Mhz the PCI bus on some boards is not locked. You have to set the speeds to 101Mhz to lock the bus.
Actually I flashed the bios after running stable 900 core clock and wanting to push it further. This was before I even bought Crysis let along discovered this happens!
Why the hell would I RMA a perfectly working card, only to waste my time and money and have it returned to me by Gigabyte?
15 minute maximum stress test, same clocks/settings used when Crysis crashed. There's no way Crysis can heat up the card as quick as Furmark and it only takes a minute or two before it completely crashes.

I guess ATI can be related to Alfa Romeo than 
works well when they work, pain in the ass when they don't want to work

u can't compare graphic cards with motherboards .
anyway since i've flashed my card i've had far less problems/issues.

says it all really, you card was working perfectly fine at 900, but you flashed because you wanted better and now its borked the card, what do you expect
tell me this, do the manufacturers of the cards say its perfectly fine to flash to a different manufacturers bios?
That response doesn't warrant a reply I'm afraid. It just reinstates your ignorance. Do you even read completely what people type? Did you manage to miss the part where I explained this is an isolate problem and has nothing to do with the card's reliability, hence the stress test I posted underneath.
