Hello

I have AMD Radeon 5870,PCI Expres 2,0 x16,BIOS Version 012.011.000.006,Memory Size 1024 MB,GDDR5,Core Clock 850MHz,Memory Clock 1200 MHz, Total Mem. Bandwith 153,6 GByte/s, Driver Packaging Version 9.002-120928m-149042C-ATI, Catalyst Version 12.10, 2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1266, Direct3D version 9.14.10.0926, OpenGL Version 6.14.10.11931, Catalyst CC version 2012.0928.1532.26058

Since not long ago my graphic card is showing some really bad behaviour.When I start my PC while on desktop in idle state CCC is showing 92-94% activity,and fans are blowing like crazy,temperature is risig to 100C untill I have dreaded BSOD.I tried to roll back drivers but no help there,that kind of behaviour is showing in 8 out of 10 times I reset ,y PC,and since I'm an avid gamer for last 20 yrs that kind of problem bugs me as hell,I can't even think about playing BF3 or crisys 2 without BSODing pleas help .I don't know if that is a harware or software problem.

When was the last time you removed your graphics card and cleaned it? When you updated the drivers, did you perform a clean install? Do you have the netframework 4.5 installed?

IDK about NETframework but will check,my PC was cleaned about one week ago GC included,I updated drivers today ,made clean install

I got Microsoft NETframework 4 and right below that one says Microsoft Netframework extended,do I have to install new one?

Netframework 4 is what AMD requires, however, there were problems with that version (Microsoft..not AMD) so there were 3 updates to it. Netframework 4.5 fixes all that...so I would update it just on principle. BTW...Microsoft update should have had a update for it...have you checked lately? When I mentioned cleaning...did you Remove the card and clean it? or just blew the dust out of the case? Did you run Driver sweeper when you installed the new drivers?

Yeah I did remove my graphic card and cleaned it as good as I could ,as I did with the rest of my gear,do you think this is software or hardware issue?

and now I have installed NET f.4,5 restarted my PC and it did nothing ,only diference was that fans did not blow as hard from the start,but activity is still on 94% and temp. is rising,I'm guessing fans will start toblow as hell any min now

My bet/guess/ is software. I would reinstall the 12.10 drivers http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/Drivers/ATI_Catalyst/old/ following the clean install method > http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=444&threadid=162444&enterthread=y

ok ,but when I check it out on my task manager it says that DS is not responding,doesnt that mean that it's blocked and must be restarted?

and is there an alternative to DS?

Oooooowwww I see what you mean.......

now to install 12.10 ...wish me luck

So is there any other steps to try because this did nothing,DS shows no garbage at all but my card is still showing 94% activity and temperature rising.? oh and I'm gratefull for your help m8

This happened with my old 5870. I forget which driver version fixed it.

Just try older ones till its fixed.

Also.try starting a game and then exit.Now check the card.Mine went back to  low power speeds after doing this.

tnx fishman i will try that, I dont know what else to do
