Title: Has my 5870 had it? help!
Post by: The Koolio on June 01, 2011, 12:20:14 AM
Hi guys, i was running my 5870 fairly stable at 1ghz, my temp was 79c and was getting 440-460 hash on 185 memory clock. I restarted mymachine after a virus check, now i cant startup windows 7 without it crashing. It does it around the time the gadgets come up, and also ccc wont startup either, after changing to default clocks using the amd clock tool i still cant startup. When it crashes i get artifacting around the mouse and top of screen. tried safe mode reinstall of ccc and drivers, but every time i get a 'failed to load detection drivers' error. What can i do? has my card had it, i mean it seemed all well and good, now i cant even use my pc without safe mode!!

*i just done a registry clean and still same problems!!

How long had you been running it? And did you monitor the VDDC temps with a probe?

Windows without CCC = Safe mode
Safe mode = No GPU load

Try diff GPU. if stil same then re-install the computer.

I just took off all ati/amd drivers and progs and did a fresh install. Its all working fine now, im guessing it was a driver fault. On the same settings as before im only getting 440 hash rather than 460 as i used to... hmmm.

I used msi afterburner to adjust my fan, amd clock tool to take it to 1000/185
