@roadcone: yes with water comes as well, but only in unstable condition for me..
Pretend your 5870 came at 750/1100. Now overclock it. How are you doing?
OK lads,
for Cypress cards (5850, 5870 and 5970) the 10.1 hotfix for GSOD is out:
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...rruptions.aspx
Downloading right now :D
Fix. http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...rruptions.aspx
Won't be able to test mine until tonight. Share your results.
Damn, I got excited there for a minute...then noticed it's only for 5800 series.
Hope 5700 hotfix comes soon.

well, it's not 100% fixed but it's better now.
In your case I'd RMA that card. Remember that the GSOD crash is a symptom common to various different isues with the card. The driver hotfix just fixes one of them. Yours has obviously a Hardware problem, not being able to run at XXX "stock" clock.
There might be more fixes soon out to address the other issues, you never know.
I doubt it is a hardware problem. Because GSOD only shows here some seconds after login in windows, then I just need to reboot, after reboot I can run ever furmark at xtreme burn mode @ 950MHz core/4.8GHz memory or any other game/benchmark @1GHz/4.8GHz for hours, and let the computer turned on for days...if the card were damaged, it would certainly fail on doing thisQuote:

now, with this drivers and running the memory @ 4GHz there aren't any GSOD, after boot I can even put the clocks at 4.5GHz again, it only can't stay above 4GHz when system is booting.
Well I only had about 20 minutes to test my xfxxxx last night playing L4D2.
Never had a crash but about five times the screen would blink off like it was going to crash and then come right back on. Lasted less than a second each time.
More testing needed.
Cat 10.1 Hotfix :

Anyone noticed the GPU core voltage spike? Idle is 0.95V and can jump up to 1.65V in 3D which fired up the VRM to more than 100 degree celsius even with watercooling.

I've been having a different issue with my 5770 than you guys. With 9.12, 9.12+hotfix, 10.1, and 10.1+hotfix (thought I might as well) I sometimes get a blurry desktop when I'm done gaming. It's not always the full screen, usually just the middle that's fuzzy. It goes away upon restart. Does this at stock and overclocked speeds. Sometimes clocks jump down to 400/900 core/mem while in game. I've forced 2D clocks to 450/900 with no sign of improvement.
The other issue is that I can't enable multicore rendering in L4D2. It creates a horrendous amount of input lag when pressing keys and trying to aim. Problem is non-existent with it off.
Force the 2D clock to the same as your 3D, eg 850/1200 which I assume is your cards stock 3D clocks, and not 450/900? :shrug:Quote:

I decided I'd had enough and modified the BIOS to just lock to 800/1150 for all powerplay states. It's relatively safe and is definitely easy for anyone else who wants to just be done with it. No more messing with software tools. Just use this:

Haha, I upgraded to Catalyst 10.1 hotfix at HD 5970 machine which were doing just fine with catalyst v9.12(non hofix) as 9.12 hotfix and 10.1 were not working properly or making almost instant tripes after boot, just under minute from logging in to Win7 X64.
Same thing happened with hotfix so I backed down to 9.12 drivers.
Oh god, these HD5970s are really messed up, wonder what's wrong. :(Quote:

Selecting "high performance" in Windows's power options seems to help a lot...
Really weird issues with these cards indeed.
I'm REALLY getting fed up by this problem. Has happened for me at stock clocks _and_ overclocked clocks (which passed 30 LinX loops, 1 hour of OCCT and 24 hours of prime blend) on 2 different 5870s, no matter what driver (even the so-called hotfix). If the problem's still here when Fermi hits the shelves, I'm selling my ATI cards and I'll go to the green team. I'm no fanboy by any means. I've used a 8800gtx > 4870x2 > 2x 5870. But this problem is simply ridiculous.

Hi guys.
Just wanted to say i have solved most of my 2D problems with a 5870 by partially disabling hardware acceleration....
More details here
There is a very interesting article over at Toms hardware that sheds a lot of light our 2D issues (read especially page 4 and then from 8 onwards).
Well, it's been a few weeks so it's time to sumarize for me.
Ever since 10.1hotfix release I had no GSOD. Non, Nada, Nichts.
10.1 catalyst and earlier versions + original bios (113-C00201-100) = occasional GSOD at random occasions.
10.1 catalyst and earlier versions + ASUS unlocked 1200/1400 bios = occasional GSOD at random occasions.
10.1 hotfix + ASUS unlocked 1200/1400 bios = no more GSOD's for a week
10.1 hotfix + new Sapphire bios (113-C00201-103) = no GSOD's another week
10.2 catalyst + new Sapphire bios (113-C00201-103) = no GSOD's as of yet either.
Big relieve here.
//edit:
ASUS m2f with Q9550 @ 3.825GHz
2x2GB Patriot DDR2 1080MHz 5-5-5-15 2T
Sapphire 5850
Win7 64bit
There is my version of summarize with HD 5970:
Catalyst 9.12 = everything works fine (GSOD about one a week).
Catalyst 9.12 hotfix = GSOD straight after logging in to Windows 7 X64, or within one minute.
Catalyst 10.1 = GSOD straight after logging in to Windows 7 X64, or within one minute.
Catalyst 10.1 hotfix = GSOD straight after logging in to Windows 7 X64, or within one minute.
Catalyst 10.2 = no GSOD but machine instantly freezes after logging in windows.
Catalyst 10.3 beta = no GSOD but machine instantly freezes after logging in windows
So, WTF???

I had zero issues with my 5970's after doing the complete uninstall + driver sweeper and then freshly installing 10.3 beta + that profiles thing. I don't use the unofficial overclocking stuff in Afterburner though.
I'm having problems with 10.2 and MSI Afterburner, the system locks up as soon as I change any clocks, higher or lower...
Bulldog do you have MSI AB set to load with windows??
What I'm wondering is if people still get the increased cursor, or am I the only one :confused:?
It seems you've had an issue with driver uninstall since 9.11 driver. I would recommendQuote:

Installing latest drivers (10.2 official or 10.3pre betas)
in this order.
running a Powercolor 5870 (not the PCS+ one) no bios flashes, Vista HP 32b, 10.2 Cats, no issues overclocked or stock whether in 2D or 3D.
...and if you are still getting 2D errors try playing with the hardware acceleration slider in graphics properties.Quote:

Just to add a little extra info...
I swapped my GSODing card with a working one from another friends PC. My card GSOD's in his pc, his card does not in mine. Both cards are XFX XXX 5870 editions and are running the same bios.
This confirms for me its a hardware problem - GSOD'ing card being RMA'd right now. I should add that in my case I can get rid of all instability and crashes by clocking down from default XXX clocks of 875/1300 to 875/1250 on the bad card. My friends card clocked and ran like a champ in my rig. I'm not convinced everyone seeing the GSOD is experiencing the same problem. GSOD could be a symptom of many different faults much as a BSOD is (a BSOD without text though would be just as useless).
Yeah, lots of GSOD's are memory related, be it system memory or videocard memory. I get them when my system ram is not 100% stable.
Okay guys, it seemed I cheered prematurely.Quote:

A guy over on TPU saysNot sure what he means by that though.Quote:
I had them with 10.1 until I switched my memory to run in ganged mode in BIOS. The crashing and big cursor went away after that.
hey guys,
Can anyone explain what could it be?

This appears when I start my PC the first time in the day and when I open the media player.
This happens from 9.10 to Catalyst Catalyst 10.3 .
I Was getting the GSOD just after logging in to Windows 7
then I did everything here

Hey guys, after getting my 5970 a few days back I got the chance today to sit down and start benchmarking, and what do I see when installing the drivers, lock ups, artifacts etc.
THE SOLUTION!
The way to fix this is to start GPU-z and save your BIOS, open the BIOS up with RadTools and change the 2D MEMORY clock to 1000MHz! I also changed the GPU to 400MHz but still got lock ups, so im gonna try to lower the 2D GPU clock to 158MHz again, should work. Anyhow yeah, you have to manually flash the BIOS so that memory works in 2D on 1000mhz, then YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS anymore. :)
Download ATIFlash program, boot up to dos and type in
atiflash -p -f 0 yourbiosname.bin
If Radtools wont save your file as .bin then change it manually to .bin, it works like you would have saved it in the program to .bin ;)
Good luck guys :)

Hello !
I'm Spanish. Sorry by my bad English.
Yesterday arrived my new Sapphire 5850 and I installed it without problems in Windows7. Later, I installed MSI Afterburner to overclock card and I put vcore to 1,250 and 950Mhz on core and 1150Mhz on mem. I test it about 1 minute in 3dmark without problems and pressed "reset" on Afterburner to set default settings and system freeze. Later this, I can't enter in Windows with Aero activated because. If I enter without aero activated and activate manually, system freeze.
I uninstalled ati drivers and ms afterburner in safe mode, but had same problems.
Is my card faulty and I need to do RMA ?
Has this issue been resolved as of yet?
