make sure in the bios the ipgpu is set to disable (the mvp Lucid Virtu Software V1.2.108.18765 is buggy) it will cause your games to crash if it loaded. i would also see if a friend has some ddr3 ram you can use or if there a micro center that has a 30 days return pick up some 1600 ram that on the mb qal list. i would also try moving the dimms to another slot on the mb to see if you have a bad stick of ram or a bad ram slot.

IGPU is already disabled. I also suspect the RAM but first im going to use my brother's ATI 5850 graphic card to be sure. Because a few minutes back I ran 3D Mark 2011 Advanced Edition. On the second test it froze and crashed again and gave an error message which is;

Workload work failed with error message:

hello again.. Ive got my 6970 back from service today. They said they've changed the processor of the card and tested/approved that there are no more problems. So I plugged it in and installed 12.6 drivers. Launched Secret World, topped up the graphics, 2 mins later BAM frozen and kicked out to desktop. Its-still-not-fixed! One time I got a bubble at the bottom of the screen "AMD drivers has stopped working and successfully recovered". I searched it on google and those people who had that bubble also have the same issues; freeze - black screen - kick to desktop or game goes on like nothing happend. How can I fix this? I guess its a software issue.

Why? Because if the issues clear up then even though you think your system is the best you may have to turn down some graphics adjustments. Why? Because it is a test and we are trying to discover what is the problem. It is the way we have to work in a forum where the problem system is not sitting on my bench where I can try various things quickly and in person. And I would not call 4g of ram exactly top end. In addition have you entered the bios and set your memory configuration by had, not relying on auto settings? Also I would like to know what a utility like CPU-Z says your memory settings are. If I were you I would check and set all my voltages and memory timings by hand.

Sorry for the attitude its just that im really pissed off at this situation. Its been a week and no matter what ive tried its not going away! Ive called the tech support again and they told me to send the GPU back to them for more testing. I believe its from GPU as well because last week while it was away at tech support I used my onboard Intel HD3000 for gaming and although games run with low fps even with lowest setting I had none of those issues above. On the other hand, I think it might be a software issue because I ran 3D Mark 2011 again yesterday and I got this error on the second test after freeze and kick back to desktop;

"AMD driver has stopped working and recovered successfully." if we translate that bubble. I googled it and its mainly a driver issue where there are leftovers from the old one. I've uninstalled with Driver Sweeper on Safe Mode countless times and tried 12.4, 12.6 beta and 12.6 full release drivers. Its still happening!

Here are the steps I've taken so far in 2 weeks in order to fix the problem and all of them failed;

- Formatted Windows and clean installed everything with latest drivers,
- Changed my PSU (upgraded from 650W to 850W),
- Send my ATI ASUS HD6970 to tech support and they've changed the processor,
- BIOS updated,
- Memtestx86 for testing RAM - no error
- CheckDisk both of my SSD and HDD - nothing,
- Tried 12.4, 12.6 beta and 12.6 full release drivers,
- Uninstalled Intel HD drivers incase there is a conflict,
- Increased every fan in my PC to see if its overheating,
- No overcloak made since the day I purchased my PC,
- Plugged out every piece of hardware and cleaned the dust,
- Plugged out single stick of RAM and downgraded from 2133 mhz to 1600mhz,

Is there anything I missed out so far?

Please try setting your memory parameters by hand in the bios. Often the auto settings are not correct. Be sure you have the correct memory voltage set and the first 4 memory settings (at least). Is it correct that you are using Windows 7 64 bit? You never confirmed this. You might try selecting an XMP profile for a memory setting also. Do you know how to check to see what programs are running at start up? This issue may be a memory problem.

Yes I use Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate and my rams were in XMP till this day. Yesterday I rolled back them from 2133 mhz to 1600 mhz and tried to run on only 2gb from 4gb.. I use G-Skill Ripjaw 4GB DDR3 2133mhz.. Didnt touch the voltage cause I dont know the exact settings to configure them...

Ok, here's what looks like is happening:

The second parameter of the BSOD indicates why the crash happened. This parameter is 0xC000000E: STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE. This means that "A device that does not exist was specified."

Based on the "GPU driver has stopped responded and has recovered" messages, it looks like the GPU is sometimes not being detected by the OS, and depending on what the system is currently doing, the driver either sucessfully resets itself, or the system BSOD's.

When you get the "Driver has stopped resonding" message, are you doing anything graphic intensive (games), or is it random? Might be an underpowered PSU unable to keep the GPU at full power at full load. If the GPU is not properly powered, it may briefly de-power, and the OS can no longer see it. This seems to be the most likely cause now...

Ive just bought my PSU its Seasonic 850W 80Plus so it cant the PSU, same thing was happening on my old 650W High Power Absolute so I changed it with this one.. Yes that message pops every time I play games and it happens randomly sometimes twice in a second or every 10 minutes or so. It always happens while graphic intensive stuff going on.. never happened once while idle on windows! Sometimes it happens the moment I launch the game even before it starts. Froze - black screen - game is back or kick to desktop with that freaking bubble on the right bottom corner...

Looking over your posts you said that you got the video card back repaired and the work order said replaced gpu? It is very rare that a company would go to the trouble to replace a bad chip. Usually you get a new or refurbished card. Can you check the serial numbers, do you have you original card or was it replaced? Please check Cat. Cntrl. Cntr. under the Performance tab. At the bottom of the Overdrive adjustments is one for power. Where is it set to? Try setting it to max (+20%). and see if it makes a dif.

Well yea I did check it they've really changed the chip and gave me my card back but as a result nothing is fixed because games keep freezing. Tomorrow im sending it back for another look and if they can't fix it again, they will take it back and give me a new one or some other card of the same price. I've already unplugged the card and back to my Intel HD3000 while my 6970 is away. Crappy graphics and fps but at least games will not freeze now... If they give me an option to pick another card I will probably go for GTX670 by adding some more cash onto it
