    4870 Black screen

    Recently I have been getting a black screen when stressing the GPU, folding / games ect and CTRL ALT DEL doenst work and I have to reboot, it looks like its turned the monitor off for power saving, this was my thought as I had been messing with the power saving features but I have reset that and the drivers to default and its still happening, also updated the driver with no issue.
    Any ideas?

    I have had the same thing due to heat in the past
    Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?
