Good morning gentlemen;
I'm running into issues involving very random hardlocks. I first thought it might be my mobo as when it occurs i cant restart the computer with the reset button (i have to hold the power button or flip the psu off and on). However, tests including long runs of linpack and prime95 as well as long runs of memtest86 have shown the cpu and ram to be fine.
I decided to test the video card using memtestCL (to test vram and board logic), which gave me tons of errors in the random blocks test.
memtestCL: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadUtils
This is the output ill recieve, its the same number of errors testing 128 megs or 3000.
Running memory bandwidth test over 20 iterations of 384 MB transfers...

Logic (local memory, 4 iterations): 0 errors (609 ms)
Test iteration 2 on 3000 MiB of memory on device 0 (Tahiti): 1036993 errors so far

so obviously this has me seriously irked. Could anyone else test their 7970's and see if they also get the same errors to rule out a false positive for me?
I still think my mobo is bad, but perhaps my video card is as well.
Thanks in advance!
