I'm reposting the following because i'm still having this same issue. I've also tried running the registry cleaner (thought this fixed the problem, but i guess i was just lucky for 2 hrs)..I've read recently this card has a lot of issues running on the windows 64 bit platform? Can anyone verify their 5770 card works ok? If so, is there something else i need to do to get this thing to work right? Catalyst setting changes? Please help me, I've been messing with this thing for the last 3 days. Today i even tried re-installing windows and drivers all over again...still have the same problem. Thanks

Hello, I'm hoping someone has experienced this issue and can help. I just built a new pc and so far so good except when gaming. What happens is when i play starcraft 2 or say operation flashpoint (1080p high settings) the games will play for 10-30 minutes (it varies) before it slows down to only a few frames per second. Another thing that happens is when i move the mouse the sounds starts skipping. I'm able to save just before the computer finally freezes and i have to hard reset. Note: if i stop movement of the mouse fps are normal? I called xfx and they said possibly memory but i'm not so sure, I ran the windows 7 memtest - no errors. I tried each dim individually - same problem. I've also tried re-installing drivers, checking bios to ensure dram setting were correct - they are. I pulled the graphics card and re-seated. I opened the case to test for heat issue, card never goes over 60c...I do not overclock anything.. I don't know what to do...
Specs:
Windows 7 64bit
amd phenom II 955 @stock 3.2ghz
asus m4a89gtdpro/usb3
xfx 5770 - revision 2 card (egg heatsink)
2 x 4gb corsair xms 1333mhz memory modules (in dual channel)
750 watt ultra LSP
1 tb sata 6 g/bs western digital black hard drive
