I am including a minidump pack going from latest to a little whiles back. My most recent one is the one that has me the most concerned. My screen starts to show artifacts and then it goes to BSoD. I recently switched from Nvidia to ATI, but everything worked fine under my 6870. It was about a week after I got my 6970 that I started experiencing this problem. Now I am experiencing the same problem on my 6870. Appreciate any help. Would be interested to see if it ISN'T the graphics card or PCI Express slot. Also kind of curious if it may be a driver issue? Highest temps I see is 71 C and that is going full out, multiple FurMark and AtiArtifact tests.View attachment Minidump.rar
 


Solution

AMD Radeon HD 6970 was released with the Catalyst 10.10, and they worked well. Then AMD released the Catalyst 10.11 which did not support Radeon 6970. Finally, the latest Catalyst 10.12a Hotfix was said to support the Radeon HD 6970 graphics card. However, many 6970 users have suffered from blue screens with 10.12. So try 10.10.
I think it was the 6870 that was released with the 10.10. My 6970 came (with drivers on the CD) with 10.12a. Also, I tried reinstalling 10.10 and 10.10e (I had a 6870 and those were the drivers I use to use), and neither installation recognized the 6970. :-( Am I just SOL till they release 11.1?

Looks like the only troubleshooting option for you now is to wait for 11.1, shouldn't take long. It looks like 6950/70 and even some users with 5000 cards have problems with this release.
