so i bought this against my better judgement and bad reviews for $230. Worked fine the first week then began black screening randomly, comp still running, screen just goes black and i have to reset it computer to make it go away. I noticed that this happened when coming out of PC sleep so i turned off sleep. then it started doing it randomly... anyways powercolor support is a nightmare and i dont feel like dealing with it if i dont have to. I heard that down clocking it would stop this, does anyone know if that sounds plausible and would it affect performance any? Apparently there isnt a BIOS update for my card version so im sort of pissed. 230$ for a new card so i can spend $10 to ship it back and get a refurbished card. yay
