Strange Overclocking Issue

Overclocking then playing ANY video file results in a system crash.

I can game perfectly fine for hours on end, but in order to play video files I have to set my clocks back to stock-or my system locks up to a black screen.

Video Card Setup:

X1800XT (675/800)
Overclocking/Fan Seeds with ATI Tool
Cat 6.9 (Chuck Patched Driver)

This a common issue, or am I just special?

Rest of the system(Dual prime/3Dmark overnight stable):
AMD X2 3800 (@2.7)
2 Gigs PC 3200 (Running divider/stock speeds/timings)
EPOX nVidia NF4 Ultra
Audigy 2
550Watt Silverstone PS

BTW, is there a plug-in to control fan speeds in the CCC? If so, I'd ditch ATITool all together and just use the CCC.

thanks for any input
 
Issue resolved.

I uninstalled ATITool, and overclocked with the CCC. I used ATI Tray Tools to control my fan speeds. No more hard locks.

I guess ATI Tool doesn't play well with the 6.9 chuck drivers. :rolleyes:
 
can you overclock as well with ccc as you did with ati tool?
did you keep the ati tool for voltage adjustment?
