Using Antec Formula 7
GPU voltage get down 0,05v when the bench starts (then i set correct voltage)
RAM voltage - go higger when the bench starts (1.74 to 1.94 for exemple)
I know is mod 2d to 3d cause this kind of stuff...
remount the pot 3 times and same issues..
I don t know if the card is more freeze than is necessary, buit i did put paper inside (pot - paper - p´cb)...and didn t solve the problem...
I think my card sucks
Use some different thermal paste. I have not tested antec formula 7, so can not say anything how that works. But what I would suggest is, that go to -50C first and set the voltages, which will be used during 3D runs. Then cool down to -100C and try 1100MHz for example. If it can run, try 1200MHz and then 1300MHz etc.

If you go directly to -130C and then start benchmark + set voltages, your thremal paste have propably lost contact and you will get lock up or black screen.

Grey screen is usually too hot gpu for the voltage +MHz combination. Blue screen is something weird and I have never seen it with these GPU's.

So try again with easier style first.
My rought approach have been giving a lot of issues since GTX 480 Lightning. I saw these issues first time back then and finally I have learned from my mistakes. Well, almost
