I may have a issue with my 6950 2G

I have a 6950 2G reference card and for some reason when I am mining and try to watch a movie etc, my system freezes and I have to restart. Does anyone know what maybe causing this? On my 6850 1G I can mine and watch video without any issues. I have the 6950 unflashed also.

I have the same issue, but the technical support forum is probably a better place for this.

Known problem, it's a driver issue.

Go bug AMD about it, MAYBE they'll fix it.

Does this happen to the 1GB model as well?

yes, 6970's to and likley 6990's.
If anything touches the gpu hardware/acceleration while you mine you crash.

We should make a petition and send it to the AMD devs regarding this issue, i bet it affects folders to.
