Anthony,
Congrats! You have somewhat stable video back.
I'm confused with your question(?)
Are you trying to locally PROVE your old video card "was" bad?
Or, are you trying "now" to predict what your future (with the new video
card) might be?
I'd like to help, but I am a bit confused now.
True. I am not a video card guru.
I still run old ATI and semi-old nVidia.
Usually, I just load the drivers that come with the video card and truck
on. When List traffic suggests there might be a "better" driver from
'whomever', I sit and think/decide whether to try or not. Just now, I am
1 to 2 driver versions behind.
"Bleeding Edge" does not live here anymore. I just can not afford it!
That includes base card build-level and/or driver for any given video
card. LOL!
Admit. I am behind the biz/buzz. I still play XPpro.
Best,
Duncan

Ok....
I had a HIS ATI Radeon HD 5770 in this system. Tried all drivers
available, using driver cleaner to remove previous drivers, etc, yet the
same result persisted: Crashing.. Yesterday, my PC reboot several times
during the day. On some days, it doesn't do that.
I just loaded in A Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 in thsi system. While these
cards are basically the same, performance wise, they boards are
different as this one has to DVI ports on it while the other other only
had one. Thus, the layouts of the boards are very different (I didn't
want to risk getting the exact same board for fear of some fundamental
problem in the board design from HIS or ATI).
So far, and not much time has gone by since I just installed this board
a couple of hours ago, things seem to be working. WEI works as done some
program I got called Performance Test.
My question is what software can I use the drive this video card in a
loop to see if it really works or not? Or, am I going to have to see
here and wait for a crash?
Thanks.
