What is being done about crashes from AMD Video card users?

Some day, young padawan, you shall revel in the glory of Fermi and Kepler GPUs. Leave the crappy drivers behind, and come to the Nvidia side. We have cookies.

That's a good one. What about the recent 320.18 drivers causing dead cards and BSODs?
And I've been having my share of crashes on my nVidia GPU as well. Especially alt-tab, which is ridiculous, considering that was supposed to be fixed. Back to borderless windowed...

Is anything on your computer overclocked? Is your video card stock overclocked? I can't count how many times I read about a factory overclocked card causing problems.

It's correct that factory OC is not as stable as the manufacturers promise - at least not over time. My GPU was running fine since I bought it but recently started crashing randomly. Clocking the VRAM down a few MHz solves the issue, so I guess it can't take the clocks anymore.

Yeah, its prolly related to this. I was previously running two 7870's in crossfire, overclocked, and would get somewhat random crashes. At first I thought it was just a overheating issue once I realized Afterburner wasn't regulating my 2nd GPU's fan correctly and had temps well over 90. After setting up the 2nd fan in CCC and bringing the temps down, I would still get occasional crashes OC'd (which was running smooth before crossfire). After dropping back the OC, I haven't had any more issues, yet..
