I've got a 5770 and I'm using the 10.6 drivers. It seems that playing a Source game will be fine, but if it crashes or I close it, then re-open the game, I'm greeted by hard artifacts, a freeze, then a BSOD. It gives me a generic reason about atikmpag.sys, which I guess is the driver shitting out on me.
It doesn't do this with any other game.
Any ideas?
Try cleaning out your 5770's heatsink and reinstalling the drivers.
I'm fairly sure it isn't a heat problem since it's kept rather cool.

Used DriverSweeper and re-installed 10.6 drivers. Gonna see if it still happens.

Nope. Still happens. Had an artifact -> freeze -> crash after a map change in Garry's Mod.

Cleaned out the heatsink, wasn't much in there but we'll see if it makes a difference.

What was the temp on the card? If it's not high, then the card might be dying.
under full load it's maybe 50 degrees celsius

Updated BIOS to see if that would fix anything. Nothing bad has happened so far.

Feeling it with your hand doesnt count.
Get HW monitor and post the results after 10 minutes of playing.
i didn't feel it with my hand, i'm telling you that that's the usual temp i get when i log it.

I'm thinking about using Tweakforce drivers instead of ATi's. Think this will cause any problems?
What are you using to log it?
and dont use third party drivers.
They are nice and tweaked but wont fix annything.
