hi everyone, this is basically what i had posted in my ati cooling thread but since this isnt about cooling anymore, i wanted to post it here:
something weird has been going on with my setup starting just a couple of minutes ago:
when i first tested my 910 MHz in furmark 1.9.1, after a bit it actually restarted my computer after a Blue screen( something about display drivers crashing), i thought that this was because i had oc'ed my cpu to much so i set my i5 from 4.5 GHz to 4.4 GHz.
then i ran furmark again fro about 10 min at stock settings and it was fine.
20 minutes ago, i had tried playing crysis because i hadnt played it after i had blue screened so i wanted to know if it would be ok to play a game. turns out, i was loading the game, and turned on full screen in the settings menu, and crysis freezes and crashes with the tray icon telling me: " amd drivers were unresponsive and crashed, but were able to be brought back". well, it basically said that, but i cant quite remember. this usually happens when i oc to much and the card cant take it.
seconds after that, i blue screen(drivers crash) again, and i restart my computer. i play crysis again, and after setting the screen to full again, i manage to get into my last save and play as normal.
but im worried about the blue screen, this has happened twice now, would it be because of my cpu overclock or did something go wrong with my gpu?
edit: also, i have overclocked my XFX radeon hd 6870 to 970 MHz before and it was fine like that, after i adjusted the voltage. this was before i had gotten my second 6870 though.
