I tried overclocking my x1900gt with catalyst control center. I did not get very far before my system became unstable. I figured that was due to too low voltage. So, yesterday I downloaded the latest beta version of ati tool overclocked and adjusted voltage.
I raised the core to 614 and memory to 625 and scanned for artifacts. There was some. Then I raised the core volts from 1.125 default to 1.250. No artifacts. Then I ran 3dmark. Everything was fine, I got 4800marks. Then I turned off the computer. After I came from work, everything still worked fine.
This morning when i turned on the computer, there were artifacts everywhen. The booting screen was full of red and blue pixels and $$ -signs. The windows started, however. Now the mouse cursor looks funny and whenever I search for artifacts with ati tool the search window is full of yellow lines and pixels.
No matter what I try with catalyst control center or with ati tool, nothing helps. Not raising volts, not lowering them, not using catalyst control center's "restore defaults" -setting. How could I get rid of the artifacts?
Please help.
