I found 12.x series drivers and 58x0 cards really dont go together well, if you drop the 7970 out and go back to 11.11 drivers does the system become stable?
I don't know (yet) Wink Can I just reinstall 11.11 and leave the SDK alone or do I also need to remove the SDK (by hand)?

gotta love microsoft, don't ya.
Of course, it's always microsoft failing... can't be AMD, because their drivers are always perfect

Reinstall windows bro.  Not that hard.  Get a fresh set of files.

Using an AX1200, P8P67 WS Board, Windows 7 32-bit, Cat 12.2pre and latest cgminer with 2x5850/5870/7970 I'm experiencing a strange problem:

- 1-2 hours after booting the system, explorer.exe crashes (".. is no longer working and needs to be resarted"). Eventlog says crash in explorer.exe/shell32.dll, exception code 0xc0000005.

- after 7-10 days, the system resets with a bluescreen, errorcode 0x0000007e.

This has now happend two times.

The system ran fine for months(!) without reboot, but then I replaced one dead card with the 7970, installed 12.2pre (was using 11.8 before) and fiddled around with memclocks. I restored the memclocks to stock settings for now and replaced the RAM...

Wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and can give me a hint?
