Howdy guys,
So i recently got a XFX 5770 for xmas. It has been working flawlessly during gaming. I've been getting driver crashes while surfing the web, though. Maybe i've just been lucky so far and it hasn't happened while gaming? i don't know. I'm running Windows 7 64, btw.
The whole screen will fill with what looks like small checkered pattern of green and everything will freeze for about 10 second and then my machine recovers from the driver crash and i can do everything as normal again, and there's a little windows pop up bubble that shows up telling me the drivers stopped responding.
So far i've tried uninstalling the ATi drivers and catalyst and then running driver cleaner and cleaned out both the ATi stuff and the Nvidia stuff from my previous card. Rebooted and tried reinstalling just the ATi driver, w/o catalyst control center, and it worked well for a little while and then crashed again.
Any suggestions? Should i just hit up XFX or ATi tech support? RMA my card? (though i think it's a driver issue)
thanks in advance, i'm goin to bed right now
*edit* oh, i also made sure my BIOS is all updated.
