Fresh install of windows and drivers etc. Temperature never exceeds 65 (and that's under load for quite a while).
Some times it'll boot fine, game brilliant etc no issues. Other times driver will just keep crashing and restarting. Other times I'll leave it for a while, come back and it will never load and recover again ..restart and fine!
Now this thread indicates there is a known problem with the bios and it can be fixed: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/388292-33-gigabyte-7850-crashing
I know I could simply RMA the card but to be honest I got it for £125 brand new with a full warranty and I simply don't think I'll get another card that will perform as well for the money.
I'm having a little trouble getting my head round the flashing though, can anyone expand / comment on the likely hood of this working?
Cheers,
