Well it seems that overheating was the problem in my case aswell. Since increasing the fan speed to an almost intolerable level I've had no problems anymore so far. One wonders though why the fuck the driver can't regulate this on its own. After some more research though, it seems that for many people the reason isn't the overheating, but that the problem lies within win vista and win7. Seems that countless people are experiencing this. Google it for yourself if you wanna know more.

The 10.3 driver is supposed to of addressed the issue, you can find it @ http://downloads.guru3d.com/ Or you can wait the 4/5 days it usually takes for amd/ati to certify them and put them on their site for official release]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=9305&post=158938 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:51:06 +0100 Reply by toasty. https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-9305/page-2/?recent=158938#post=158721 Quoted from octochris

[...] That's entirely unrelated, because you're referring to nVidia software/drivers.

The error message probably refers to nvidia but during all the time I spent trying to find a fix there were plenty of people with ati cards that had the same problem.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=9305&post=158721 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 09:13:03 +0100 Reply by HeroNL https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-9305/page-2/?recent=158938#post=158660 Quoted from bm

I had the problems with Win XP64. After my first HD4870 died, they sent a replacement. That one died a few weeks ago, again from overheating (while I stressed it way less than the first card). I now have the HD5770 (arrived today), let's see how long this one will hold out..]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=9305&post=158660 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:22:28 +0100 Reply by Rotab https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-9305/page-2/?recent=158938#post=158655 Quoted from bm

Could be because it sounds like a airplane > People whine about it being to noisy > ATI cries themselves to sleep.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=9305&post=158655 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:15:04 +0100 Reply by blue magic https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-9305/page-2/?recent=158938#post=158626 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=9305&post=158626 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:29:49 +0100 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-9305/page-1/?recent=158938#post=158622 Quoted from eoN^

i had this problem along with some flashing pixels appearing just before it crashed changing the virtual memory in system properties/advanced/performance settings/advanced to system-managed or disabled seems to have fixed it

This sounds a bit like the dreaded "nvlddmkm" error. My 8800 gtx suffered from this, I tried to find solutions for up to a year after I bought it and ended up having to buy a new card. Google the word or see http://www.nvlddmkm.com/ to see if it matches. I'm hoping it isn't this error but I thought I would share.

I've had this problem too (well, slightly different but most of it is the same) with the HD4870 (512mb OC version). For me it was my card overheating. Did you check the temperatures?

Same here.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=9305&post=158502 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:09:33 +0100 Reply by HeroNL https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-9305/page-1/?recent=158938#post=158497 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=9305&post=158497 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:56:12 +0100
