I've had my AMD HD7970 in my Windows 7x64 PC for about two months now, and I've had an issue where randomly the video drivers seem to crash and fail to recover. I have a video here, and I have a picture that shows that this glitch only happens on my primary monitor; if I unplug the primary one, the glitch moves to my smaller monitor, and goes right back to the big one when I plug it back in.
This happens RARELY (grand total of 5 times since I got the card,) but at random times, seemingly centered around when I play games. One time it happened when I minimized Civilization 4, and more recently happened after I quit out of Sleeping Dogs after having played for several hours. I made a little shortcut to restart the display adapters using the MS driver dev kit, but of the two times I tried it, the first time it didn't work, and the second time it gave me this.
I'm re-installing the latest video drivers right now to see if that fixes it, but is there anything else I can try?
