I see my computer will bug check after roughly 8hrs of running, I cranked the fan on my GPU (7870 XT) up to 90% an I don't see the temperature exceeding 70C.

I'm seeing a little graphics corruption in windows too.

Any suggestions?


I ran the same GPU without any issues on another computer for a good while. The new PC is Windows 8 & X79 vs the old one was Windows Server 2008R2 with 5520 chipset. So it could be an AMD win8 driver or an X79 issue?

After a ton of messing around seems like the 13.4 drivers just aren't good for me.

13.1 & 13.6B2 are solid on Windows Server.

Testing 13.1 on Win8, did briefly see some corruption?

Although I am on Win7 x64 I had problems with a high level of errors (driver related). I ended up settling on 12.8 as the driver, after completely clearing all components of the previous driver.

Gpu drivers are designed for a better gaming experience not for better crunching. Crunching is NOT their main focus of audience so we get good drivers for us when it just happens to work out that way. As long as a particular driver works upgrading to a new one is not always better! Then you run into the problem of one driver working well here while another driver might work better at another project. Find one that works and stick with it until you hear lots of people saying something about another being MUCH better, is my advice too.
