You wrote another post asking if you needed to use the ATI drivers... are you using them? That could be the problem if you aren't.

Lol i remember that post....makes me laugh the kid has such excellent hardware...but the software side is problably making it run 20% worse then it ever should simply because hes not using drivers.

Are you overclocking? It could be a hardware thing, but it does sound more like a problem with 3dMark.

Sounds strange. I wouldn't worry about it too much if your games are all stable, seems that 3Dmark05 and your card don't get on too well. I haven't seen this problem happen to other cards. Are you using the version designed for 64bit windows? This is the only help I can find http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversion/index.php/t8702.html
