Hello everyone,
My 2 week old XFX DD HD7950 that I've posted about before is beginning to cause me some major issues, it seems. I was getting a black screen freezing issue (usually only at night when the computer was unattended for some odd reason) that locks up my PC solid and I have to power cycle it to get it working again. Now, with Catalyst 12.6 (I have no idea if it is related to the issue), I am getting these crashes along with vertical stripe crashes now several times a day, usually when the computer is idle or doing F@H on the GPU. I can play TF2 or other games fine, but if I minimize TF2 sometimes I get one of these crashes after a few minutes, and it's entirely random.
Is my card bad, are the drivers bad, or is something else such as my PSU possibly the issue? This rig ran a Sapphire 6950 unlocked flawlessly for about 8 months. I've ran driver sweeper between driver installs, lowered the overclock significantly on the GPU to no avail. I just got the vertical stripes a few minutes ago while browsing these forums in Chrome with just this and Facebook open, but the driver recovered. Any ideas?
Another thing to note is that even at stock, I have to turn up the PowerTune slider to max or the card runs worse than a 6950. Could this be part of the problem as well?

, I had a youtube music video open in the background the whole gaming session, I'll report back later tonight to see if I stumble upon other instances.
