    HD 6950 screen splitting and crashing Battlefield 3

    Yeah i'm going to RMA my card this week for the second time. I'm going to ask powercolor for a lower model and see if I have any luck with that. Dealing with these possible power regulation issue is really challenging because all of the benchmarking and charting software reports everything is...

    PC Reboots when video card set to a certain overclock - PSU?

    Is there software that monitor and alerts when various hardware isn't getting the right amount or power? Best I can tell is everything I have has enough power, but it would be nice when the CPU and the GPU are pushed hard what my system is trying to draw and what its actually getting. I have...

    Video card error / crash logs?

    Often times charts don't always tell the story. Say if your GPU is maxing out but running really cool and you aren't pushing it hard but it still crashes the system, you are running stock or even underclocking it. And you have RMA'd multiple cards to the vendor and reformatted the system and...

    HD 6950 screen splitting and crashing Battlefield 3

    My card, will run Furmark just find and max at 78 degrees at the very end (see previous screen shot) However it will crash randomly on Furmark 5 seconds in running at 55 degrees. Powercolor tested my last card and according to them it was fine. Is a log file that I can get from the...

    I've been trying to dig through event logs to see what driver related stuff is failing, this has been showing up recently. and I should point out though, i've reformatted this system and have tried different driver sets, so I don't think its a particular version thats cause the problem.

    HD 6950 screen splitting and crashing Battlefield 3

    Yeah, I hoping this post gets better traction in search engine so we can get more feed back on this. Ginward who makes your ram? What what model of monitor do you have and how is it connected? Others have suggested 550 power supplies might be under powered but there have been a few...

    Screen wrapping bug on 6870

    It seems to be cooling fine. Other people are having these issues with great cooling and more power. Its an issue with a number of ATI models. I just haven't been able to figure out what the similar hardware combinations are that may be causing this. You can scrub the drivers and reseat...

    HD 6950 screen splitting and crashing Battlefield 3

    It sucks because I thought my last card went totally bad, and shipped it to Powercolor and checked out ok in their system. They sent me a new card anyway and I started having the same issues after a few weeks. There could be random memory or GPU problems that require just the right...

    More talk on lower the memory speed here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1038017772 But I can't seem to lower the mem speed anymore than the stock settings, anyway to get around that? Clocking it up a bit didn't seem to stabilize it.

    Screen wrapping bug on 6870

    I'm having this same problem running stock. It CCC won't let me lower the mem speed as stock is at the lowest setting. I've clocked it down from the default 800mhz to 650mhz It seemed to stabilize for 2 days then it started acting up again. The card has been replaced once, I know its a...

    HD 6950 screen splitting and crashing Battlefield 3

    Well, my method for temporarily fixing this problem... is to take full power off the motherboard and unplug power. Then reseat the card into another slot and plug power back into it. This allowed me to run Furmark without it crashing within 5 seconds. Link below shows it passing the test, the...

    atikmpag.sys BSOD

    I've been getting this error sometimes after a cold boot. And i'm not sure if its from some other problem i'm having with the card splitting the screen and crashing during games and graphic testing. When you run Furmark using the 1080 preset button does your card / drivers crash...

    HD 6950 screen splitting and crashing Battlefield 3

    I thought my card died two months ago so I RMA to Polorcolor, but the card tested fine for them, but they sent me a new one anyway. Problem cropped up after about two weeks. So I just want to warn you, that you may have the problem again. Take power off your machine totally, and seat the card...

    HD 6950 screen splitting and crashing Battlefield 3

    UPDATE - The problem is happening again, it may not be a PSU issue see posts below! So far the card has stabilized by clocking it down to 650 MHz (high performance) and upping the "power control" settings to 10% from 0. It seems a bit silly it wouldn't boost the power by default to feed...
