ok bought a new one same problem but i am running solid state drive and have just disconnected the other drives including my raid as well and it seems to work now...i think there is a problem with the raid and the solid state conflicting somehow.
i bought a 750w one from ##world as its the only place i could get one today as in liverpool there isnt decent shops to go get one this one HIGHPOWER ATX 750W 80+ 99.99 i know never heard of them....now listen to this one you know i said it crashed then i disabled all my drives and it worked ok ive connected the drives one by one even my raid.....now it dosnt crash how weird is that ......do you think its possible windows has allocated different resources to them doin that . what power supply would you recommend?

no not odd atall i am on dvi at the moment have tried display port and hdmi all do the same thing ....i have it running now at 875mhz/1200mhz seems fine but thats still under what the speeds should be on the 5870 vapour x oc should be 875mhz/1250mhz so it gets the 875/5000mhz speed.....hopefully the power supply sorts this out might just need that extra voltage of a better power supply... another problem all though the card is running stable getting a lot of like flickering and lines on the second monitor i am using...ahhhhhh if only things were easy lol. back to using the display port .....works great just interfernce on my second monitor what ever connection i use .
