For a little over a week, I borrowed my friend's 4870. Naturally, I had to take out my 3850.
Just tonight I returned the card to its rightful owner and placed my old and trusty 3850 back. However, as I did, after reinstalling CCC, it started crashing. And crashing. And crashing. I thought it was just a bad install so I installed CCC and display drivers again. However it kept on returning.
Suddenly it struck me that it was the ATI Overdrive that was messing things up. I don't know how but I think the settings that remained where the Overdrive settings I used in the 4870. So I turned it off and restarted without an OC to the card. It was fine. But I thought, hey I should just put it to my old settings, which where 740 MHz and 999 MHz for core and memory clocks, respectively. However, when I did that, the crashing thing went back again.
I can't really pinpoint the problem, hopefully it's not hardware-related. Any ideas on what's wrong? I'm running it in stock clocks again but the extra 5 fps I get with it OCed helps since it' starting to struggle because of age.
