Please can some help i have had this problem since i purchased the HD4870x2 about 3 weeks ago i have tried everthing(downloaded all the latest drivers for all the things connected to my pc including keyboard and mouse and even monitor).

Please could someone help as this is really starting to piss me off, i have been on other websites and people have roughly the same as mine including CPU, Motherbopard, and GPU.

P.S In have laso downloaded some driver updates programs to see which hard i have is out of date and all of them including DriveAgent have resulted in the following being out of date:

HID-compliant consumer control device
Intel(R) ICH9 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 - 2926
Intel(R) ICH9 4 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 1 - 2920
Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
SM Bus Controller (has yellow question mark in DriverAgent and Windows Device Manager)
High Definition Audio Device
Intel(R) X38 Express Chipset Processor to I/O Controller - 29E0 (but according to asus and other websites this should be a Intel x48 chipset)
Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 6 - 294A
Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 5 - 2948
Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 3 - 2944
Intel(R) ICH9 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 2940
2x Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller

so how's temps under load?

Did you uninstall the old drivers and software befreo installing the new? If not, then it's a driver/software issue. If you did, then you may have done something wrong or missed uninstalling something.

get a driver cleaner and be sure to completely un-install any gpu related drivers and uninstall and related software thru Add/Remove option on the Control Panel.

you may also need to uninstall/reinstall the mobo chipset drivers.

do not use those driver updates app to tell you what drivers you need. Know your hardware and ALWAYS download/install the drivers you need from the manufacturer's website.

verify that there are no apps running in the background (virus scans, defraggers, etc..) that could suck up resources and verify that there you are virus/malware/spyware free.

Looks like you didnt install all of your mobo drivers right.
