Alienware Ati Driver Issues
Hello! I've been having issues with my Aurora. I had the Dell drivers installed when I got the computer and all was fine. Decided to install the 11.1 ATI Drivers and games take forever to start up and exit. This is the case for the 11.1, 10.10, drivers. I have two ATI 6870's. Sometimes the games start fine, but after a restart they take forever to load or exit.
No Events found!

I had to roll back to CC 10.9. The newer versions were causing my GPU to run @ 99% with nothing running. Since I went back to 10.9 I have only had one unexpected shutdown/ restart. I used not update drivers unless they solved some problem I was having, since I got my Aurora I update all the time, I think I'm going back to my old habit until the newer drivers are out a while.

People at amd.com gaming forums report various problems with 11.1 on the new 6xxx cards. Problem is, you can't go too far back (like us 5xxx users) because only the newer drivers support 6xxx cards.

I just went back to the Dell drivers. :/ No issues actually. Seems my computer actually boots faster, too. But so far so good.
Update: Well... when I have my computer off for a few minutes to an hour I start it up and everything seems slow. Games take forever to load, internet doesn't connect or takes forever to do so. I don't know what's up with it.
