I have been fighting a problem with a newly installed Sapphire HD3870. I can not get it stable! I have been overclocking with ATI CCC 8.12, should I try Riva Tuner? Would that make any difference in how stabile the overclock was? The card goes into VPU recovery for no reason, even while on the internet. I have tried reinstalling drivers, running Drive Sweeper, cleaning my registry with CCleaner, nothing has worked.
I set the gpu at 860 (default 776) and the memory at 1151 (default 1126) and ran 3DMark06 for a score of 11477, my best yet. At the end of running the benchmark my gpu temp was 51c. If I try to game at this setting it goes into recovery mode but the temps are less than 50c., why is it not stabile???
My system;
E6400@2.6GHz
2GB G-Skill 800MHz ram
HD 3870
