Hi Guys I was haveing the same problem. Screen would get a bunch of different colors on it and than go to a blank screen different color each time. I was reading the reviews and I saw one about the Ati tray tools so I downloaded it and installed did not change anything and ever since I have installed it, which has been about 6 hours now I have yet to have any problems with it now. I think everybody should try this I think it will help. Change the voltage to I think it goes from 0.950 to 1.200 I changed it to 1.200 no problems Overclocked to 945 core and 1418.75 on the memory works great. It is the latest version I could find of the Ati tray tool Never had heard of it before tonight and it has helped me just fine.
Specs
Athlon 2 X3 at 3.5Ghz
XFX 5770
M4N82 Deluex Mobo
4Gb 667 Ram
FX Trendsonic Case
400 watt power supply

I hope that this will help everybody with their problems with the 5770 it is very anoying I know. I don't thik the cards are bad I think it has to do with the video card trying to lower the voltage because after I set it to 1.200 it has been fine good luck please let me know if this helps anyone else. I am running windows 7 64bit
 
I have exactly the same problem, random freezes blue screens grey screens blue lines etc. i have just built a new system not even tried a game on it yet, so all crashes are at/very near to idle . So to me it does seem to be when the card is throttling back to save power. Bit of a pain as one of the reasons why i chose this over nvidia was the power consumption. Windows did recover it once saying the gpu device driver had stopped working correctly which was handy as i wasnt 100% sure it was the gpu.

ill try the above suggestions and see how it goes

I hav eht 10.2 drivers installed and I can change the clock frequency and memorey maybe their is something wrong with you install try to reinstall the drivers might work if not download ati tray tools it made my card run right. Good Luck.
 



I was wondering if it had helped you I just did this last night and I stll have not had any problems, also I turned the Ati tray tools off an I would say after maybe two minutes I had a pixled screen and went black windows did recover it though and usally does but sum times it freezes all together. I have played dirt 2 and the new Stalker and the new COD and it runs in them great never crashers can play everything at Max settings it really does play games great. Stalker and Dirt 2 have Direct X 11 so it handled them great and really looked great.
 


Same Problem for me (HIS HD5770, core i5-750, Win7 64). Is there any way to increase the voltage without loosing the 'green' states? I tried it via bioa flashing, but the permanent full speed ans power consumption is not acceptable. I miss an official statement from ATI what goes wrong and when they definitively will have a fix for it.
 


Not Had chance to try it yet, will do after work tonight and see how it goes, although it seems a bit silly running the card flat out when you might only be emailing or just on the web. Hope AMD can sort it out soon i'd be happy if it only throttle back say 70% of what it does now if it made it stable.
 
I have the SAME problem with all of you.
Honestly this is quite frustrating.
This is the new built computer, i want it to run smoothly, but only the graphic is the problem.
The monitor suddenly goes to black or other colors and then it comes back on with the error message saying, "Display driver AMD driver has shut down and recovered".
wow... i cant play ANY games. I searched this for ALOT and found many ppl have the same problem. apparently 5800 series had the same problem, but ATI got a fix for them, but not for 5700 series. I dont know how long we have to wait.
 
I am having the vertical line lockup problem since I started playing Dragon Age Origins. This is the first game I have played and never had the lockups before this. I am running on 10.2.

Graphics: Sapphire 5770
OS: Win 7 64 bit
CPU: Intel i7 860
Memory: 8GB
Motherboard: MSI P55-GD65

Wil try the tray tool tonight.
 



I was wondering where you could chage the voltage to 1.225 on my it only goes from 0.9 tp 1.2000 am I missing something.
 
I do not see why anyone would care if it is not green anymore I do not think you will see any diffrence in your electric bill.
 


It is a huge difference in the heat and noise produced by the system. With standard settings my card is at 40°C and the fan at non hearable 800rpm when not playing games. Without the "green states" it is at 50°C and a loud fan even when idle. One big advantage of the 5xxxx series is the low power consumtion at idle mode, which allows a silent system when you dont need the full GPU power. This is an important point for many buyers of these cards. Without this I would never have bought one.

 
Hey, i also have this problem it is very irratating. especially when you are mid game or even when the system is sitting at idle. i think it may be a bios issue. but im not sure if anyone can find a solution can you please post it :]
 
I have one 140mm fan in the front on the case one 120mm on the side and one120mm on the back not to mention the power supply has two 90mm fans in it, so it is kind of noisey but does not bother me. I did not have to change the voltage with the Ati tray tool I just installed it and did not do anything else and the crashes quit. Kind of strange if you ask me and every time I turn my computer off and back on I get some error message say could not load low level drivers for ati tray tools so I have to reinstall it every time I turn it back on but it stops the crashes. Hopefully ATI and FXF can fix the problem shortly. A lot of people are saying that they are bad cards but I do not think so they play all the new game at the higest settings. I love it.
 
Dears,

I just bought a Sapphire Radeon 5770 Vapor-X and after reading your messages I must say I'm lucky... for now 😱
Nevertheless, I have another issue : I have another Video card in my PC, a NVIDIA 6200LE (it was working before). Under VISTA32, this 6200 is not working at all. The message is "Windows stopped this device as there are problems (code 43). After checking on the web I could not find any solution. The thing is these 2 cards are working perfectly when I switch to Windows7... All the drivers are up to date and I also tried with other old drivers.

Any IDEA? HELP please.
 
Hi, I just had just the same sort of problems everyone here seems to have with their Ati HD 5770. Rather annoying freezing, black or white screening while idle - Like reading a web page and listening to music at the same time. Still games like Battlefield Bad Company 2 would work flawlessly. Then I happened to run across this website: http://beecherbowers.com/2010/03/10/fixed-ati-5770-driver-stopped-responding-error-in-windows-7/

I followed the instructions and it seems to be working fine. Before that fix I had black screen of death right after login after installing 10.2 CCC and rebooting.

Hope this helps!

My system:

Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 no OC
Asustek P5QL Pro
XFX HD 5770 1GB
4GB 667Mhz DDR2
Windows 7 64-bit
 
Alright. I've just installed ATI tray tools as reccomended. It's version 1.6.9 I hope that is the latest, if not someone please tell me. There only seems to be two voltages to select from under the overclock menu. I Selected 1.125v and stock clocks 850Mhz core and 1200Mhz shader. I made a profile and told it to load profile on start up. Hopefully this fixes everything specifically my all too frequent vertical line hard crashes. If i've done something wrong please inform me but this is how i understand the solution to our problem.

I'll be back in a day or two to inform you of my success (hopefully) and we can try and get a concise idiot proof guide to fixing 5770 problems once and for all, hurray!

Hats off to AlfaZulu for the great advice
 
Using ATI Tray Tools - set voltage to 1.000, fan speed to 50%, GPU/Mem to 850/1200 by assigning a profile to the game I'm playing so that it activates only while playing, runs 400/1200 outside of game.

I'm 100% stable from previously crashing 2-3/hour with GSOD.

Core i7-920, 6gig DDR3-16000, XFX Radeon HD 5770

stable in both 10.2 and beta 10.3 drivers.

Basically... it seems like the 'power saving feature' is a tradeoff for stability... sounds ATIish? Gonna let them know and see if they void my warranty. ho hum.

*EDIT* - Crysis GSOD'd me. - was back to the drawing board.

Cleansweeped, yadda yadda;

I noted a reference board, the Asus EAH 5770 doesn't seem to be having these issues. So I dug into their files a little bit.. since my mobo is an Asus P6T Deluxe... it was worth a shot.

The driver on ASUS website is the 8.7.0.3 or w/e ... driver that was dated 2/5/10. ASUS has the same driver number, dated 2/10/10, and I was able to use Update Driver in Device Manager in Windows to update it... it thought it was a newer driver (which it is by date).

This still didn't add 100% stability, but it was a lot better than the other stuff I had so far. So I took another tip and downloaded MSI Afterburner, which comes with Kombulator (a benchmark/stability program). With a clean slate and the ASUS driver running... Afterburner was showing me running voltage at 1.200; The reference ASUS card we are using the driver from ships at a 1.125 voltage, and I have suspected the issue was voltage the entire time with this card.

Running at 1.2V, Kombulator and WoW both crashed in a short time... once card got to about 70 Celsius. I adjusted voltage to 1.125, clocks are still set at the default 850/1200... the ONLY slider I've adjusted is voltage - I am 100% stable now. I restarted PC, and now have afterburner set to start with the PC and set the 'overclock' - which we are underclocking voltage.

The power saving features of the card appear to be in working order according to the graphs in Afterburner (the downclock to 400mhz). Fan is set to auto.

I was having every issue that you could read about with these things... this seems to have worked; I let the machine run the stability program for a little over 4 hours today with no errors, crashes, BSOD's, etc. I have had WoW up for about 7 hours, and no issues there either.

I will leave the stability program up overnight to ensure this 'fix' will work.
 
read my post above yours - videos were also freezing on me.

This seems to have fixed the issue so far... I will add in a video tonight to let it replay over and over on the 2nd monitor... that should be a nice stress test ( I got some blu-ray rips that'll tax the card)
 
Ok... overnight test was stable.

Closed all those programs and was in my web browser... about 20 minutes in, crashed. 2d... no exciting stuff going on... video card was 400/1200 mode (low power).

So it seems that low power now is unstable, but high seems to be fine.

Going to avoid sending my electric bill into the stratosphere for now... more research on how to stabilize... more research on mechanics for this card
 
Alright... I'm starting to draw blanks on a solution. Techs at XFX suggested upgrading to 10.3 . Did that, full package (catalyst n such) - still crashing.

I know what made the card more stable than other periods, but nothing made 100% stability.

Ho hum - taking suggestions.
 
I had similar problems - PC would boot to Windows logo, then go black. I read a post somewhere that the 5770 is very sensitive to power problems. This thread is so pervasive on so many sites, I lost where I saw it, but thanks to the person who posted it whoever you are. I ran the calculator here http://www.schrockinnovations.com/powercalc.php and found my system required 653 watts and I had a 650 watt psu. I upgraded to 950 and have not had a problem since. ATI was less than no help to me.
