I know this is an old thread, but I needed to get a response from some of the posters who were here before, in hopes that something may jog their memory.

This is the video card I purchased awhile back, recommended by users in this thread. I look at it now, and it says it's overclocked. Can any of you remember if it said OC during the time of purchase?
I'm getting some annoying "Display driver amdkmdap has stopped responding and has recovered" errors which make my screen freeze, go black for 5-10 seconds, and recover during gameplay. It used to only occur in starcraft 2, but now it happens in EVERY game.
I did some research and found out that Windows Aero theme for vista was causing it, so I changed to Vista basic, and the errors stopped for about a day, and now they're happening again, although less frequently, but enough to wreck online gaming.
Then I looked at the gpu on the website and it says OC, and I'm wondering if being OC is the culprit of this error? I don't see how a brand new antec 650w psu would have problems powering an hd5770.
I know it's a longshot, but can any of you remember if it said OC at the time that you recommended it? And how would I go about underclocking it?
