| GreyianStorm said: Just before Christmas, I installed new drivers (using Steam) for my Radeon 5870. Since then, I have occasionally been getting the blue screen of death. It only ever happens when the PC hasn't been used for 30 mins (it seems to only happen when the "screen" sleeps, but not the monitor, just the signal to the screen I think). It has happened a few times since the update. A friend of mine suggested that I uninstall the updated drivers and then re-install them (incase there was an issue with the original install). How would I go about doing this? Also, just in case its of any significance, when I originally updated the drivers, my display went all funky until I restarted. My max resolution was capped at 1440*900 (I think that's what it was), despite the fact my monitor is 1920*1080. |
There have been a lot of issues with some of the 5000 series... I just built a new machine and recently and I got a 5770, having a batch of problems with a few games... did some research on them and there are tons of issues with the 5700 series, and the indication was that the 5800 series had similar issues. They keep releasing new drivers (the most recent just... 3 days ago) but it hasn't fixed anything for me. I've tried everything, I'm at the point where I've decided to return it and go the nVidia route. (Looking at the GTX 470)
