Occasional BSOD, but mainly Crashes and reboots when watching Videos
I'm not sure if anyone else has posted, but both my step-dad and I are having the same issues with both our computers.
He bought a new computer, and I'm 99.99% sure that none of his hardware or software has any conflicts or any issues.
I have my copmuter, which i've upgraded over a period of time, and its pretty decent. I recently upgraded to Gigabyte's ATi Radeon HD5870 1GBDDR5 video card, and even more recently upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit.
His computer is Windows 7 as well, and he recently bought two Gigabyte ATi Radeon HD5870 1GBDDR5 video cards and ran them in Xfire.
Now we both seem to have nice and speedy computers, nothing seems wrong, until we try to go on Youtube to watch a video( when we actually try to play the video, not actually just being on the site itself). Or , in his case, try to watch a Blu Ray disc with his computer ( he's got a blu ray player)
We occasionally got the BSOD, but generally we just blackscreened and it rebooted itself. =S
So I want to know if anyone else is having this issue? I've updated the drivers to the latest to date and all that shizzle, but my guess is that the 5870's have comp. issues with Windows7?
