I am having a few problems with it:
My system keeps crashing when gaming. Call of Duty 4 crashs and the system won't respond. Crysis crashes and returns to the desktop saying the video card driver stopped responding but is now responding again.
Sometimes when I start windows the mouse doesn't work properly. Either the taskbar will respond and the background won't, or the other way round. Sometimes both won't respond. If I press Ctrl + Atl + Del and click once, it starts responding again, so I can just go to cancel and then it works fine. This doesn't just happen after startup.
Sometimes (it has only happened when I have been away from the PC) the computer just stops responding and the monitor shows the letters OSD very small right in the middle off a completey black screen. The monitor light stays green so I assume it is still receiving a signal. I have left the PC for hours and come back and it has been fine, other times I leave it for 10 minutes and when I come back it has the OSD message. I originaly thought this was something to do with the power settings but it is not.
Haha I know, however, my 4870X2 is primarily only supported with Vista not XP, so it may eventually become a reality to get decent support out of the thing... Trouble is I have a Creative sound card, and that's not going to go down well with Vista at all...
