This happens every so often with this new card I put in my computer. Let me detail what I've done and what I have going on:

Using cgminer 2.11.3 on Windows 8. Have tried both this version of Catalyst and the 13.3 beta. Every now and again, I get a message that my display driver has crashed and restarted, but I am unable to get any sort of work out of cgminer until I restart my computer.

If I restart cgminer before I restart the computer I get this:

Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered. [Event 4101, happens three times]

I was not having this problem when I had two 7950's installed in my computer. I removed them and installed one 7970, and I've been having these problems. I can't run cgminer for more than a few hours before it stops. I had tried so many different things with different drivers and different sweepers that I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled my OS with 13.1. Before I start messing with the drivers again, I'd like to see if anyone has any advice as to what I can do to fix this problem. The 7970 is at 1125/1575 on stock voltage (1.175 I believe)- I have the same issues when I run it stock.

Thanks in advance! If there is any other information I can provide, please let me know.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Try an earlier driver and back your Memory clocks off, way off.

When the subject of buying BTC with Paypal comes up, I often remember this:
