nothing was wrong ... just the test didn't load up it didnt even go into 3d clocks...
That's something new

Try the very same test with a shader complexity 0 (this lower the load on the GPU by a lot). Does it launch ?

Try to monitor using RivaTuner : do you see the very same drop in the frequencies as we do record it ?

Pressing <esc> kills the App, i've always included that escape point. Maybe you could recover from that.
