    OC'ed GPU completely stable in 3d apps, and 2D apps, but....

    Video driver always crashes when I start from sleep mode. System either freezes or crashes to a white or tiled screen where I must hard reset. This only happens when I shoot from sleep mode. Any ideas why this is happening? Card: XFX 6950 Unlocked @ 960/1400 @ 1.25V

    Can boot fine from HDD, but booting from a windows 7 disc freezes halfway?!

    Matt; I could format the HDD successfully on another system. Besides, I mentioned that the PC booted FINE from the HDD, but not from any external media! Corky; I did use a bootable USB though, which gave me the exact same bug :S...

    Can boot fine from HDD, but booting from a windows 7 disc freezes halfway?!

    I used that same DVD to format my own PC. I created a new DVD and used a bootable windows7 USB all of which gave me the same result. Update: I took the HDD and formatted it with a clean install of win7 by hooking it to my own PC. After the install it booted innto the HDD fine so I took it out...

    I swapped in a brand new 6950 into the system, same. Don't have a monitor at the moment but I highly doubt it has anything to do with this.

    bubbleone, i booted from my HDD, checked both my media (the DVDROM and the USB) and they're both detected.

    Can boot fine from HDD, but booting from a windows 7 disc freezes halfway?!

    I don't see the relation to the PSU? I did mention the system boots fine from the HDD into windows 7. It's the bootable windows 7 set up process that's giving me this headache. How can this be the PSU?

    Can boot fine from HDD, but booting from a windows 7 disc freezes halfway?!

    I also removed my HDD and used a Seagate Barracuda HDD (data HDD, no OS) and tried to format that but same. So it indicates this is irrelevant to the HDD.

    Need tip on stablizing my OC (i5 @ 4.7GHz)

    It's not just the heat with these chips. I believe its just that high voltages degrade it due to electron migration. That's what I know. But really the question is; what is causing the blend test to BSOD?

    is 3dmark 11 a more realistic stability tester?

    We all know torture testers like furmark/kombustor/occt gpu test are completely unrealistic and I've also read that in some instances gpus at stock settings will give errors with them. So in this case, what is a more 'real world' tester of stability (besides games ofc)? Is stability through a 30...

    OC'ing XFX 6950 1GB using afterburner, do I really need powertune 20%?

    Hey peeps, So I started tweaking my non-reference XFX 6950 1GB and to my luck I could implement voltage control through MSI AB which is surprising since its non-reference. Anyway, the card went to 930/1300 at stock voltage and is now sitting at 970/1300 at 1.188 vcore. I've been hearing about...

    Annoying sound problem with MSI X48C Platinum....

    I can either connect my headphones to the front panel, or to the rear of my computer (which is directly to the motherboard if I'm not mistaken). Both configurations cause the same issue. I flashed my motherboard to the latest 7.4 BIOS in hope for a fix, but the problem still persists.
