    Just crashing or any visual corruption ?

    If there was visual corruption I would be inclined to think the card is defective but if it cashes it could be a software issue.

    Have you uninstalled the display drivers and used driver cleaner to remove the remains then re-install them ?

    Try changing the cable from the PSU to the GPU if it has another one spare

    just crashes, then have to press ctrl alt del to get back to desktop and it tells me that the gfx drivers were reset, then i maximize the game and its back working fine again :confused:

    That is unusual can't say I know what is the cause...

    Try checking the event viewer in control panel\administrative tools & see if the crash was logged and what it crashed on.

    The Catalyst 7.2 drivers were released yesterday try those out.

    Do try changing the power cable on the PSU to another one from it going to the GPU.

    Test your RAM with Memtest+ or leave Prime95 run for a few hours using the torture test in case something in the system isn't stable & that's what throws the ATI driver off.
