Overclock to high or vcore too low.

Reduce CPU to stock clocks first just to make sure.

Start your PC in a SAFE MODE and uninstall AMD graphics card drivers and from COMPUTER PROPERTIES(right click on Computer), to go SYSTEM PROTECTION (top left) it will open a pop-up window, from tabs, select HARDWARE and on that tab at the bottom, click to DEVICE INSTALLATION SETTINGS, and choose "Always install the best driver from WINDOWS UPDATE". Then restart your PC and it will boot normally, as soon as it boots up, it will find a new hardware attached, which is your graphics card and will start downloading driver for it, after all done, restart again and see how it works, if you still struggle, let me know and I'll stop by to sort it out for you.. hope it helps.

More so bf3 but now and then bfbc2 just vanishes lol. but still running when i press ctle alt + delete lol.
I have my over clock @4.3 on auto volts.

I was getting BlueScreen before, but i worked it out is was the over clock unstable! so that stoped after i clocked down.
Now i get the game freeze but no blue screen!
Guess i try downlocking to stock for while and go from there!

Hi,

I use the 12.6 beta driver. no problems in rfactor only bf3 or bfbc2.
What driver does this install? and do i restart in safe mode again after i unistalled the drivers?

Set the voltage manually, don't use auto.

Unstable oc can cause freezing and CTD, but the 101 code in your bugcheck indicates one of your cores stopped responding.

Same thing happens to me when my vcore drops too low while gaming.

Well i did what you said, so far so good thanks man..
Oh and on the clock speed, is it ok to have this on speed step thing, so it down clocks on idle.. but i keep volts on normal?
Hopefuly it be ok.
I might get a 670 as i'm using 2x 6950 clocked. but in game it dont feel smooth on left to right movement with the mouse. i tried a G500 and SIDEWIDER x8 mouse, but not sure what it might be,, maybe crossfire.
Hoping the 670 will be smoother. as i run @1920x1200. would it better to get 4GB CARD OR 2gb?
