I don't want to be a crashing bore so ill get to the point-

 

I have a 4850 ATI Power color Card for 1 year with no problems but very recently problems have developed.

 

Symptoms:

 

The Display Driver Crashes as soon as Catalyst software is pushed up to 1200MHz/700MHz complete system failure blue screen and then auto restart.

 

System Only runs now at Default 950MHz/625MHz

 

PSU is CIT 700w here is a link to is http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-...dual-12v-rails

 

Possible points i have heard about?

 

* Is Power supply Amp powerful enough (if so how was it able to run for so long with no problems?

* Failure PCI-E Port Mother board is Less then 4 moths old Here is the Board http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=2960#ov

* Driver Failure

* Random Ram errors causing cascade effect through system 1 yr old Ram.

* Corruption from Microsoft Update errors

 

 

What i have done so far

 

* Ran the system with individual Ram cards in to see if i can isolate the BSOD problem

* complete reneawal of 4870ati card + mobo

* 6x Reinstaled OS 64Bit

* 2x Ubuntu 64Bit

* Complete removal of hardware cleaned and electrostaticaly discharged

* 3dr party software to find drivers or delet damaged drivers

* arfter system faluiare o/s needed to be started in low rez mode just to be able to restart the system to uninstall catlyest to then start all over again.

* I have installed from version 8 to latest version driver software.

* there has been no change to the symptoms it has stayed constant throught.
