What kind of PSU do you have?  You could be running into voltage droops.

Not all 5970 are created equal. One of my 5970 cores is only good to 725 MHz at 1 volt. One of my other 5970 cores is good to 810 mhz at 1 volt.  One of your 5970 cores could simply be low quality and not be capable at running at such high clocks, even at the stock volts of 1.05. If a 5970 core is crashing, reduce clock by 5 mhz, and repeat until stable.

I have a dual 5970 mining rig, and I use CGminer. I use 800mhz core and 267mhz memory. I don't know what on earth could be the problem... My GPU core temps don't go over 80c and VRMs don't go past 110c.


When I witness the crashing, I notice that the ATI driver goes first, and then CGminer crashes.
Try it at stock clocks to rule that out entirely.
