Have any of you folks had problems with recurrent crashes during Windows gaming with the 4870? It crashes on me randomly, but pretty frequently. Never happens on the Mac side. I have a flashed 4870 with 1GB VRAM. Seems like this has been described in Windows forums and has something to do with the card changing clock speeds during 3D rendering? Any fixes?
