I had my 4870x2 do this to me for a little bit. My performance in any game was horrible and Aero wouldn't enable, as well.

I uninstalled the current Catalyst driver and reinstalled 10.1 (at the time, the latest one) and everything came back.

Since 10.2 is out now, I'd advise using that. It could be that the drivers just got corrupted. It happens some times, but not often.

Also I've observed that this seems to happen after I run Eve Online and Audiosurf, both of which use V-Sync with no native way in-game to disable it. So I think the V-Sync might be the problem like you suggested.

If this is the case, then all i would have to do is never use V-sync, which would not only solve the crashes, but it would also eliminate the input lag and the framerate cap. But the problem with this is that I cant disable v-sync in Eve or Audiosurf unless i use CCC Or ATI tray tools, neither of which I can launch.

Any Ideas on how I can get either of those up and running?

hmm its strange that you can't open CCC/Tray tools,have you tried different drivers too ?

no i have not

Reply to uzi9mm

So try then,drivers like Cat 10.1/10.1 hotfix

CCC works now, but ati tray tools still wont open, although it still shows up in the processes list

Reply to uzi9mm

If CCC works,then try enabling V-sync from it and test the games

Reply to Maziar

dosnt look like V-sync is the problem. and CCC doesn't seem to have any effect on games?

Reply to uzi9mm

Well you said in your older posts that some games that have V-sync set to "ON" on default perform without a problem

i meant that it runs v-sync off with out a problem, but it dosnt seem to be the case anymore.

Try disabling Catalyst AI in CCC 3D settings and test a game

i tried it and it crashed again

It's a known issue with ATI 5*** series cards. Here's a link to the game.amd.com's thread on the topic discussing the topic. As of now, there are several thoughts - Mostly centered around drivers - but there are also some suggestions that raising the voltage to the southbridge by a small amount might help.

My own new rig has a 5870 which I cannot use because of this. The manufacturer is working with me on it, so I'm not *too* pissed off... But I am annoyed that I have a $400 paperweight on my desk.

I think i may Have FINALLY solved my problem, and would like to post it here in case anybody else has this problem:

I underclocked the Memory Clock to 900Mhz using AMD GPU tool, and it seemed to work, and of course disable Catalyst AI. I'm not entirely sure why it seems to be working though. Can somebody provide some insight on this?

However I just tried this today, so I might have to wait a little while to be certain. but it seems to have gotten rid of my problem completely. Although im a little upset that i cant clock the memory over 900(0!!!!11!)Mhz, im certainly happy about this.

Reply to uzi9mm

nevermind i got a crash

Edit:i was being retarded and i somehow set the memory clock to 1200

I have the same computer purchased at Bestbuy. Ran great the first week and then started getting green lines across the display which progressed to blackouts and loss of mouse function.Called tech support,they had me reinstall the 5700 display driver(did not work).Next step was to do a clean install(complete waste of time)did not work.Started doing some research and found out the 5700 display card has been having issues and everyone is waiting on a fix.The following day I went down to good ol bestbuy's and bought a nvidia graphics card and that solved the problem.I'm a little angry I'm having issues with a brand new computer now I'm out $140.00 dollars for the new card but I did not feel like waiting around for a couple of weeks trying to get this thing fixed through the warrenty.I read somewhere that the card was having problems maintaining the correct voltage to keep it running properly.Good luck to you.

Had problems also, for the first month or so not one issue then windows updated and i had problems left and right. I have an asus p7p55d pro i5 750 and a sapphire 5770. can't play games at all system crashes with gray lines. (can play for about 2 to 5 mins then it crashes.) emailed sapphire they sent me a bios update for my video card still had problems but crashes were now windows blue screen memory errors (memory dump) then i updated my mother board to the newest bios and got the latest chipset driver. problem seems to be fix played bioshock 2 and left 4 dead 2 all day not one crash.

I researched this problem for months before I got it to work I almost rma the card back to sapphire

I'm using cat 10.3 drives also plan to test my system for the next week to see if i can get it to crash
