Evening guys,

I bought the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-364-OE&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2602 a few months back but with the 7950 gpu.

All has been well up until a few weeks back.

I've had a few random crashes on Arma2 OA with the ACE mod enabled which I put down to the mod package and server load etc. Tonight I tried playing Battlefield 3 and some of my other "standard" games. I've had nothing but problems all night..

Screen freezes and then I have to do a hard reset to get back into windows. Any ideas as to the cause?

Cheers,

Brad
 
I've just had a look at the error logs, it doesn't make much sense to me! I'll cut and paste some of the things I think are relevant below;

It's very strange, sometimes I can play for a good few hours with no problems at all and other times it will hang-up five times in the space of an hour.
 
Right guys, bit of an update.

I had overclocked the GPU and had thouroughly benchtested using Heaven - stable temps, no tearing, inclusions or artifacts. I had been using this configuration for weeks with absolutely no problems including some marathon Arma 3 sessions on Ultra.

Yesterday I used Catalyst and wound the card back to stock, done a full OS recovery and played for three hours without a hitch. Then using Catalyst, I reinstated the overclock to exactly the same values I was previously using. Benched and stressed it for an hour and it's been fine ever since.

I've stressed and CPUz'd the CPU and it's overclock is present and stable @ 4.4 also. It looks to me as though removing the GPU OC and then reinstaiting it has cleared whatever "bug" was present but only time will tell I guess.

Thanks for your help guys :-)
 
Played approximately 10 hours today and yesterday of Arma 2 ACE mod enabled with max draw distance and settings without a hitch. How strange.....
