Again, for what it's worth, black screen is sporadic and happens to me in all driver versions. Running the BIOS that came with my Sapphire card.

Please read the threads. You may have a different issue.
Lots of people get them just playing games, at stock having never tinkered with anything.

Rangerjr1 yes i got asus bios flash. Sapphire one is unusable due to memory clock jumping from 150 to 5000 all the ****ing time. And card is crashing eventually...
But i had no black screens at all before beta 9.2 drivers...

I totally don't have the guts to try this- will just wait till the next AB is out
I did this guys, just add " /wi4,30,8d,10 " on target of a MSI AB .exe shortcut. You'll get 100mv extra, thats it. Powerstates still work. I would say its safe. Just dont touch the numbers or letters. You dont want 2v lol
Have you tried reinstalling drivers first? Ive had that happen to me a couple times. No problem with the mouse it was a corrupt driver problem

Xplo genious mate. First time ever this happened to me. Saves me messing around with it 
Sometimes simplest solution is the way to go. I was plugin it out and in for 20 minutes yesterday

I've found i get black screens when pushing the memory too far.
1500mhz and it's fine, guess we'll have to wait for AB support.

Well, I've just tried this and it works fine. 100mv got me around another 100MHz. Temps barely moved... Though I am using watercooling

well 100mv is fine for me too, but an extra 200 (Once you cross 1.35v before vdroop) I start getting black screens when i put the card under load.
Could you lower your memory below 1400 say 1350 or 1375(or set it default) and then use the same core and voltage that would cause the blacksceen. And see if it still crashes.
it never crashes, its just like i unplugged the DVI. Its weird. And no, lowering the memory doesnt help. Memory runs 1625 flawlessly.
sorry i meant blackscreen not crash. it is a weird all right. we need to make sure amd is actually aware of this issue. i have submitted a ticket with sapphire and amd . could be waiting awhile for a response though.
