Drivers AGAIN
Well, first whenever I OC'd my GPU the drivers would crash when it attempted to do 3D at certain times. It even occurred when it wasn't any more then 5 MHz above the clock. Eventually I thought the new CCC update had fixed it but it turned out it didn't. Now sometimes it even Blue screens in Left 4 Dead. The stress tests (done with Furmark about 10 times for about 3-10 minutes each) still all say it's stable like they did before, and I see no dots or anything on the screen. Does anyone know how to fix it? Because this is just ridiculous now.

Is yours the Sapphire Dual Slot Cooler 4850? If it is, that would explain why. My DSC sucked! I couldn;t even do 635c...

What would the dual slot cooler be?
Also it's not temperature problems, the temps seem to be fine even under extreme burning.

The one that takes up two slots and most likely blocks off a slot to put something else in.

Yeah, mine blocks one slot, and what do you mean take up slots. Like using one of the PCI ports for power?

A dual slot video card is a thicker card. The dual slot just means it's going to physically occupy more space. A good example for this would be that the nvidia 8800gt was a single slot card (ie: thin) while the majority of cards now are dual slots (ie: fat).

Well I don't have a socket cooler, but I guess you could say it's dual slot since it takes the slot below it.
So is there anyway to fix it?

I seem to have fixed it by using Rivatuner, there was some odd BSOD I had the other day, but the DLL mentioned wasn't anything from ATi. And my GPU's been folding for a while without a driver crash and still tests stable.
