Hi all. I am new here.

I just bought and installed the gigabyte 7870. All of my games keep crashing upon loading of the menus. It will sometimes say "device driver crashed and is now being recovered". Also, cupid hardware monitor is saying it idles at .85 volts and when its at max value its at 1.219 volts.

Ive already exchanged the card and seems to be the same problem. Im actually wondering if my motherboard cant support it. Ill list my specs.

AMD 965 4 core
Gigabyte ma78lmt-s2
Thermatake 700w psu
Gigabyte 7870
windows 7 64bit

thanks!

Im not sure what the drivers are. i took the card out for now. im sure they were the latest due to downloading them from the site.

Ive wiped the drivers and reinstalled about a dozen times already. Updated the mobo bios as well.
