I have been working on alternitive method similar to the fix in the above post, so far i have had a few positive results, including my own that has been running with no errors for 5 days now.
These next few steps are taken from the above post and are needed to create the fix
Steps:
1. Open CCC
2. Enable/Change any options you want i.e AA/AF/Catalyst AI etc
3. Apply the changes
4. Unlock and Enable Overdrive if they aren't already.
5. Overclock your card by 50 only on Memory
6. Apply the changes
7.1 Go to Options/Profiles/Profiles Manager. Enter the name of your profile, "TEST" for example.
7.2 Under composition make sure "all catalyst control centre settings" is checked.
7.3 Under Activation, make sure "Desktop shortcut" is also checked
7.4 Click Save then Close, DO NOT ACTIVATE. DO NOT ACTIVATE. THE SYSTEM MAY CRASH IF YOU DO
8. In windows go to: C:\Users\{yourusername}\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Profiles (you will need to have "show hidden files" turned on for this)
9. Open the xml document with the name of the profile you just created (notepad is fine)
10. The top of the profile will probably look something like this, this profile is for the Gigabtye 5770 and most probably have different values for different cards

<Feature name="CoreVoltageTarget_0">
<Property name="Want_0" value="950" />
<Property name="Want_1" value="1125" />
<Property name="Want_2" value="1200" />
Want_0 is for idle when your pc isnt really doing anything
Want_1 is for 2D usually rocks between this and idle when browsing the net
Want_2 is the stock 3D settings or Overclocked settings when manually set like we have done for this example and usually rocks between this and idle when entering/exiting games
The Want_2 value as been automatically changed by CCC when the card is overclocked so you want change ALL voltages in Want_0, Want_1 and Want_2 to be the same, for example i used "1150" so the voltage isnt always at the overclocked state and is still high enough to work with overclocked settings if you wish to up the cores. Change the numbers in BOLD under "CoreVotageTarget_0" to a suitable figure depending on your cards voltage figures
This is what the profile on my 5770 looks like

<Feature name="OverclockEnabled">
<Property name="OverclockEnabledProperty" value="True" />

<Feature name="CoreVoltageTarget_0">
<Property name="Want_0" value="1200" />
<Property name="Want_1" value="1200" />
<Property name="Want_2" value="1200" />
You will see that the voltage is all the same, i have also changed the clocks to more suitable settings for my needs and kept the voltage at an overclocked state, this is my preference and works for me, i would suggest changing the Idle "Want_0" clocks to something like i have done so there is less of a jump in speeds, which may be the cause of some of the problems in the first place
11. Save the profile
12. Go to CCC and enable the profile in the profile manager section.
13. You may want to copy the shortcut that is on the desktop to the windows startup folder, this is so the profile loads on startup and you dont have to keep loading the profile everytime. I havent tested wether the profile is loaded into CCC by default on startup, ou may find you dont need to activate the profile once it is already activated.
Conclusion and Testing
This method has worked for me for 5 days now without a single error.
By setting the voltage to 950 made the computer grey/black screen instantly on loading the profile so this is my theory that the voltage is the issue.
As for stripes, i could not recreate the fault on demand by changing any settings but this fault has never come back by using this method of fix
Request
I would like people who found this to work for them to post and anyone who has other cards to post there profiles here so others can use them as suitable starting point for there cards
Thank you for reading and i hope this works for you
