I left my computer off all night, and didn't got the ''Display driver stopped working but has successfully recovered'' message at all at boot-up this morning. Since yesterday morning, it didn't happen at all. So I was able to game all day, around 12 hours, without a single glitch, bug or BSOD. My 5970 is rock-solid in 3D. I've played Resident Evil 5, Dragon Age, Crysis and Batman AA. Not a single problem at all.
What I do to avoid the error message at start-up is to start Furmark for 1 minute the second I have control of my desktop after start-up. So my 5970 goes from 21 celsius idle to 23 celsius, and I'm fine after that.I did this 5 times yesterday to be sure. Closing comp for 15 minutes to let it cool, boot-up, start Furmark the second I can for 45-60 seconds to ''warm'' my card... and no more message error.
Disabling ULPS in the registry also helped a lot.So until next driver iteration, I'm fine. For now I think I will let my computer run 24/24, so I won't have any problems until they fix that driver problem.
Ambient temp is 15-16 celsius here in the morning (-30-40 celsius here outside...), and at the end of the day, it's around 21 celsius. A 5970 + i7 920 can now officially heat a room by themselves in a -30 celsius climate! lol!
