HD6950 & 6970 blue lines error

[TonyD]

As part of my current correspondence with AMD’s tech support to try to resolve the ‘blue lines’ issue, this is an attempt to show them how prevalent this problem is with users of HD6950 and HD6970 graphics cards. Their latest reply indicated that they were unable to replicate the problem, and this may provide some indication of how common it is with these cards, or if it is perhaps experienced by users of other cards as well.

It may also prove useful if you voted for option 2 to provide some indication of how you may have resolved the problem, and possibly a brief system spec (for those that don’t put this in their sig) and whether you re-installed Windows when you installed the card if you have never experienced the problem.

For those who may be wondering what the issue at hand is, have a look at the screen shot attached (borrowed from RocketDog’s earlier post). Hopefully this may lead to a solution from AMD if it is a driver issue.
