It's been brought to my attention that I've hit BSOD a few times recently and so at first I thought it was my E8400 which I've OCed to E8400.
I've gotten a report from windows vista telling me to enter "msinfo32" to find out about the info. I looked into Hardware conflicts tab and guess what I've found?
Notice that radeon 4800 was mentioned many times. So I guess it was my 4870 that's causing problems. Anyone have any solution for this? I'm using Catalyst 8.11 with all firmware and drivers within my system updated.
you overclocked your e8400 to e8400 eh? pretty impressive 
Did you remove all the old drivers when installing that card?
Is the pcie frequency locked at 100?
Any overclocking on your GPU? Whats is your GPU's temps?
What psu are you using?
Im assuming the system is prime95 and memtest86+ stable?

I've down clocked a little now to 3.8 just to be safe.
PCI-E freq. has been locked at 100 as always.
No OC for GPU. Temps are regular ( 56 on idle and about 70 on load) using 30% fixed fan speed via ATI CCC.
I've ran OCCT, WPrime, Orthos and seems to be stable (even though it gets hot).
