I built a new computer yesterday with following specs:

GPU: HD 6850
CPU: intel i3-2100 (3.1GHz)
RAM: 4gb fatal1ty Ram
PSU: 850W OCZ zs-series
HDD: OCZ Agility 3 (SSD) + 2x 1TB WD


In the beggining there was no problem, but then the graphic card started crashing during Skyrim play and i got the following error in the task bar: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"

First i thought it was overheating, but the cpu temp is 40 celsius and gpu is around the same.
I reinstalled drivers without any luck, tried older drivers without luck.

Then it also started crashing outside game, like in desktop and in web browser. Then it totally froze and i had to hard-restart.

Then someone told me that the sandforce based SSD's had some firmware problems that could lead to computer crashes. So i removed the SSD and installed windows on a mechanical disk. Still the same problem.

First i was confident that it was the GPU, but now i think it can be something else... But it mostly crashes in-game. Haven't experienced in desktop for a while.

What else can it be? :s
 
I get the same issue (more often than I'd like). I still have yet to find a solution (Running a 6870 here).

I read it's due to the idle clock frequency jumping to load frequency, so I made a special profile with MSI Afterburner but it hasn't made any difference.
 
Unless someone else can help us resolve it. I've spent hours googling the issue. We'll see though. Cross your fingers.
 
iv got the same problem with my 6870 aswell, on the desktop its fine but as soon as i go on to a game eg: Minecraft, Dirt 3 it just freezes and comes up with that message, its really annoying because its a new build aswell :(
