as per my sig, vapor x 5770. basically if i touch an overclock no matter how small, using CCC, i end up with 'flashy squares' (artifacts i believe is the term?) and such and screen freeze ups. i'm of the understanding that vapor x cards were great for oc'ing, have i just been unlucky with my particualr card or am i doing summat wrong?

i had to go change mine from the oc version to the normal version for the same reason....ive had 3 days now without a problem...like i had with the oc version for 3 weeks......so if i was you i would rma it and get the normal version one. mine was the 5870 though but same problems.

I had the same issue. Strangely, uninstalling all the CCC stuff, and letting windows install the drivers, and only windows, its seems stable. Not sure how to overclock then though 
Mind my 5770XXX is 875/1300 - and seems quick enough for me

just a note to my original post, since installing 10.4 drivers i've been able to get to 900/1350 and thus far no problems. was higher 920/1400, ran furmark for 20mins, no problems and temps sat at 65-69 degrees max. however 5 mins of bfbc2 and it froze up on me 
is it common for driver updates to add stability to overclocking ability or is there possibly something else at play here?
