Hi All,

My New PC is Running a WF3 7950 Running CCC 12.10

When I picked up the Computer from OCUK , it was running CCC 12.6 , I used used the CCC Software to update the Drivers , I didn't Uninstall the old ones

The Screen keeps on going Funny - Pictures below - 1st time it did it was trying to save a notepad document , the 2nd time it did it was looking at Facebook , does anyone have any ideas whats causing this ?

I have to manually press the reset button on the case for the computer to work again,

Any Ideas?

Would deffo say that is a gfx card problem.. Have you overclocked? I get the same screen when I push my gfx overclock to hard.

No - Ive not Overclocked the GFX Card - The Only thing thats overclocked is the CPU - Which was done by OCUK

I will try a fresh driver install and report back

All drivers up to date?

Is it doing this as soon as it boots in to windows or after you've doing some thing on pc?

1st time it was trying to save a notepad document
2nd time was looking at Photos on Facebook.

When i got the PC from OcUK - it was installed with 12.6 CCC Drivers on , I looked on the internet on how you do a Fresh Driver install.

Were now running on the lastest 12.10 - All Seems Ok so far.

Ran Heaven for 3-5 Minutes Max temp was 59.c with the Fan Speed at 41% with 100% Load

I Presume these Temps are ok?

I had similar issues after I upgraded from a 6950 to a 7950 last year.
I never had any corruption/crashing in any games, only when browsing the web or using a text editor/wordprocessor etc. Basically anything that didn't push the 7950 would cause random screen corruptions usually followed by a complete crash or a BSOD.

I reinstalled the drivers more times than I can remember. (Using Driver Sweeper to ensure complete removal.) It had no effect.

Every crash appeared in the Windows event log (in Windows Logs|System) as a "Display" error. Event ID 4101:
"Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

It took many weeks to find a solution after reading dozens of forum articles. I had to create a custom profile in the Catalyst Control Center and tweak the parameters to something that the card was happy with.

The problem was this....
The default "idle" settings used by the driver for my 7950 were causing it to crash. If I tweaked the custom profile to run the card at full speed even when in "idle" mode, it never crashed. So I gradually lowered the settings in the custom profile (week by week) until it reached a level where it started to crash, at which point I raised the settings by a few points to get the stability back.
I could have left it running at full speed (even when "idle") but I didn't want to waste the electricity!

Anyway, now I've explained all of that the chances are that your problem is totally different but I thought I would explain my experience just in case.
