Hello,
Before I begin I'll list my specs:
So I've tried various drivers like 12.3, 12.4, and now currently running 12.7. I have overclocked according to the instructions listed here:
http://www.overclock.net/t/633816/how-to-overclock-your-amd-ati-gpu
Although I'm using GPU Tweak as my overclocking tool. Asus 7850 stock settings are 870mhz/1138mv/1210mhz. Using the settings above I've safely gone up past 1150/1138/1450 although I chose to dial it down to the safe overclocks of 1000/1138/1350. This is within the range of the "safe overclock" barrier.
Running the above stress test keeps the gpu warm at 70c degrees but it has never crashed nor shown artifacts. Although when using simple applications such as firefox or watching shows on media player classic, it crashes and shows a grey screen with vertical lines. If a video plays, I can still hear it playing in the background as I view a grey screen. They only way of correcting this is by resetting the computer via reset button. I've tried increasing the voltage to 1000/1170/1350 with the same results.
Why am I crashing even within the safe OC barrier? I have a PCI-E cord in my 7850. I driversweep before installing new AMD drivers. Can you please aid me?
P.S. I can assure it's not a CPU crash issue because this began happening after I started overclocking my GPU one month after my CPU overclock. And the GPU never crashes at stock settings
