I have tried several versions of GPU-Z since its release, and been through many ATI Catalyst drivers, and GPU-Z still manages to lock up my PC when launching a full screen game. It's only until now I've decided to mention on these boards
I have it running in the background and it doesn't lock up while doing normal desktop tasks and browsing, but after launching a full screen game such as WoW or RTCW it will lock up about 5-10 seconds in, with nothing to do but cold reset.
I'm mainly using this utility to check if the Core and Memory clock does in fact increase to requested values (since its underclocked by about 130-200mhz on Desktop) but haven't been able to. I've tried to monitor with CCC but I suspect its dropping to underclocked values the moment I tab back to desktop.
Anyway, specs, screenshot and logs (before the lockup):
2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
Abit AW9D-Max i975X Motherboard
PowerColor Radeon X1950 XT Extreme 512MB GDDR3
700W Tagan TG700-U35XL Easycon

Note default values are not showing GPU Core Clock 500mhz and GPU Memory Clock 603mhz (from CCC settings)
