Hi, I did and OCCT test on my XFX 4870 for 1h but it only lasted for 5m than stopped, as the test ran there were over 10 errors. Dos this mean the card is bad, and is there software to check the memory on the card?? I ask because I crash ether at boot or a few seconds after boot and some times about 2 minuets later. :horse:
I've don memtst86 and my ram is good, don prim95 all good.

OCCT is here (http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/index.php).
A lot of OC'ers use it to do a stable test, so this is the only way I can test my card.

Ya, it's design more for Nvidia which sucks but it dos test the GPU.
Why not Furmark?

Well, I've bin wanting to update my card I think I just might do it.
Thank you for the help.

Umm... Windows 7 64bit here.

I download it, I was curious enough to check it out and I like it, thanks for the link. :)
The only thing though it doesn't do certain tests on the card. I'm looking for something more specific.
