Hi,
I had my 5870 for about a year now and since install i've always had suffered form Vertical Line crashes of different flavors. At first they were yellow orange, then they were whatever color was last on screen (i.e snowy level = white, forest = green). And now i have been getting Black/Gray vertical lines and the crashes have become more frequent. Every game i launch there is bound to be a crash when gaming more than 1 hour. I've tried a variety of fixes such as underclocking and or raising voltage. So far underclocking as fixed the issue but i refuse to use underclock because i bought the overclocked version of this card for a reason! Only thing that seems weird to me is BFBC2 is unstable at the stock clock but when i overclock to 890/1290 v1.170 the card has gone as far as 3 hours stable! Same thing with Counter Strike: Source, i underclock to 800/1200 v1.170 and the card becomes stable for as long as i've tested (3 hours). And sometimes the screen just goes black and i loose signal to the monitor and i hear the video card's fan ramp up to 100% and i am forced to reboot. That has been alot more frequent and it think its driver related because it started happening since the 10.12 drivers. So in the end, im asking if anyone has a fix for this dreaded Gray/Black vertical line crashes!?
Thanks!
