My 6870 crashes when it goes on load,...... why? They keep saying display driver crashed

Windows cannot rate it as well because the display driver crashes.

I have another 6870 but it works well on the same system.

Is my card going bad? Or already bad?

well i did a format and it still was the same. but the second card that i do have works and it is the same card. I will keep trying for the week. I am getting tired of amd now though. their drivers piss me the hell of. i am goin to buy a GTX670 soon. I hope all my problems will be solved. Its a bit expensive though.
