    Hey all, have had my 8690 for about 7 months and in the last 2-3 months have been getting GSOD....i thought this was mostly a problem with Asus rigs? Has anyone else seen this with CLevos?

    I've never had one. How does it handle stress testing?

    Well if can handle a 10 minute furmark run, then maybe it's the drivers. Which version are you using?

    10.8, was using previous versions few weeks ago, used almost all versions of the driver and none of them had any problems (except for 10.7 and borderlands memory leak, but that applies to all ati cards though).
