BSOD with my new Powercolor 4870.

Where did you buy this "New" 4870. Artifacts and a crash to the blue screen are signs of overheating. Artifacts are caused by to heavy of a overclock or the card has been overheated and damage was done to the card.

Plese properly fill in you system specs under User CP.

I bought the original card (4850) From Newegg but it crashed and I sent it back and got this one from powercolor themselves because they didn't have the one I bought in stock.

You could try AMD overdrive in the CCC to underclock the card a bit and up the fan speed to see if it helps. And, wow that's literally the EXACT same card I have in my desktop.

Also, I have dropped the clock speeds and it worked fine, but I wanted to know why I needed to do that?

If I drop the clock speeds I have to drop it a good amount...

The sweet spot for the clock speed without bsods:
Original Clock speed: 850
Now:800
Memory: 975
now: 870

I can't really tell how much this is going to effect gameplay, I really don't have a Graphics intensive game installed yet.

I still can't get it working :<

So here is some more information.

I really need help. I've been working on this for a month, I realllly don't think it's the card because it's the second card to do this.
