Same card, almost same CPU (northy), Same HD, Same RAM, Same power supply, Same GPU.

I just wrote a huge message but it wouldnt post, and when i went to try again it was gone, so heres the summed up vesion. I have that problem too but I fixed it. Mine kept giving me an "error report" when I tried to go over 450MhZ. Here's a step by step how I did it.

1)Go to -this site- and download the drivers.
2)Uninstall the oens you are using now
3)Install drivers and components from OMEGA
4)Make desktop shortcut for ATI Tray Tool
5)Look at your system tray for a little red ATI cube and right click it
6)Look for Hardare, follow that accross and click overclocking.
7)Click "Show 3D render"
8)You can now click max GPU(core) or max Mem.

I successfully got mine to 460MhZ core and 490MhZ Mem. I started receiving artifacts after about 2 minutes, so I downclocked and kept the speeds at 450MhZ Core and 470MhZ Mem (235×2). Let me know how you do, I'd be interested. Good luck man, and just let me know if something goes wrong.

The program I used works just like the ATI tool, you'll see. I dont think this is frying your GPU, but it may be a result of pushing it too far.

Shehanigan did you try the other overclocking program? I had that black out problem when using the ATI tool, and then it wouldn't show the 3D render correct? THen it would freeze? With the new tool I can overclock smoothly and I dont get that problem at all, plus it gave me a better overclock by about 20MhZ. I se yours is ATI, mine is sapphire. That could possible play a roll in your speeds? Mine came factory at 400/223(x2)

Scratch my last post, its shutting down on me again.

Whenever i go past 460MhZ Core trying to find the max, the screen shuts off but the computer keeps running. Nothing on the monitor, I have to reboot. Is this because of temperature?

I got that max for sure....last night I pushed it farther than I've ever gone! 460/500DDR. It went up to 519, then hti some artifacts. 500 was stable, but it still found 494 to be my max
. I play it safe with 450/480 now.
