hi,

i'm wondering if you guys can help me please,i'm still having issues with my pc.i'm not sure if its related to my bios settings,setup or hardware problem,the pc will hang playing dirt2/alien swarm but now its happening with TF2.
Here is what ive tried:
Couple of ati drivers ( 10.7,10.5 ),updated directx,removed kaspersky I/security. ive also tried various cpu and memory settings but it still occurs.
Pc ran prime95 12hours no problems. Could it be the 5970
pc spec:

Gigabyte X58A-UD5,I7 980x,H50-1 cooler,6gb Corsair ddr3 ( TR3X6G1600C9 ),Saphire 5970,corsair 850w,system drive 160gb intel G2 ssd,samsung HD203WI &HD103UJ.
Windows7 64bit - ssd in AHCI mode with intel RST driver 9.6 . ATI Driver 10.7 ( 8.753.0.0 )
speedstep enabled
system is not overclocked.

does anyone know what version ati driver are currently shipped with ocuk prebuilt pc's?

update: i've put ati card back in,installed 10.7 + profiles.
clicking on furmark multi gpu either crashes instantly on run or will run but all text and graphs flicker.
ive now ran it with normal furmark and it passed 15mins without crash but slightly stuttery.
sometimes TF2 is the same even on half full server.please note the tmpin0 temp in volterra VT1165 ,any suggestions?

ok ,i played tf2 for about an hour or so this afternoon without any problems ,i thought problem had gone but now after 15mins tonight on tf2 the pc hung again, any other suggestions?whats the max safe gfx temp?,anything else i need to change in cmos?

I upped the memory voltage to 1.64 on sunday and things seem to be ok so far,no crashes with TF2 or Dirt2.
The flickering issue in furmark has been resolved by disabling Catalyst A.I. Does anyone know what's the max temp allowed for an ati 5970?

I'd been through the settings and adjusted but i guess i must have defaulted voltage to auto when changing stuff on one of my previous attempts

timings are now manually set too.

ok,i thought the issue was resolved , game was running fine for a while now but pc hung last night in TF2 and just now.

ATI driver is 10.9.
