I have an HIS HD 7870 IceQ 2GB GPU
I am trying to overclock using MSI Afterburner. I've researched a lot into overclocking. I've taken baby steps trying to find a stable overclock. But so far I have ran into nothing but problems.
Checked for artifacts using GPU Tool. Found none. Decided to try a game while monitoring temps. Got into game, went to alt tab and got the Windows 8 blue screen "Oops, PC ran into a problem". Temps were at 48 when my PC crashed, and GPU usage around 35%.
At this point I only had my core clock increased about 100mhz over default. I have a 600w PSU (CX 600). 80plus bronze.
A couple friends told me 600w is more than enough for this GPU and the rest of my hardware.
What could be causing this?
