Hey just wanted to throw this out there.

I have had issues with my Sapphire 7850 OC edition since day one. Whilst it has come factory OC even at stock it seems to have been running into a BSOD every now and then. I don't think the actual card is faulting as even under low load the driver will throw a BSOD or I will get the black screen of death on resume. These pointed me to the symptoms of bad drivers in my experience.
I reinstalled and wiped previous drivers to no avail. I've also put on beta, stable and older versions of the drivers still to no luck.

I've come to live with it interrupting my gameplay once or twice a month for the last year now and it got slightly better with newer drivers. But the issues occasionally still cropped up.

Having come from Nvidia where I never really had an issue with drivers (though they had other issues) is this a common thing with ATI/AMD drivers? Has anybody had any luck resolving this or dealing with this in the past?
