It seems no one has suggested but you probably did anyway.....
Have you tried updating drivers? Get updated drivers for your mobo and other stuff even if you already have video (since you have the same problem with other cards). Did you completely remove drivers from any previous video cards you've had? Those can cause problems too.

Well then I guess its up to Ea then. I just hate it when the last option is tech support.

yeah and i dont keep it at those settings all the time, just thats the highest ive gone and used in benchmarking. I was worried that maybe it was the actual card so i put in an old geforce2 that i found lying around the house and it did the same exact thing.

For starters, the bios swap is just asking for trouble in the real world. 970mem seems to unrealistic for that card to operate properly possably causing repeated issues that you seem to be having.

I've had some funky problems with redalert2 also, which is one of my all-time favorite games, anyways here's my suggestion on this matter.
1st try uninstalling the game again, but this time making sure that you THROUGHLY remove every enteryof redalert 2 in the regeistry( be carefull in there) and your c:\windows directroy. Sometime something will go amiss in the first instalation of the game and unexpected crashes to the desktop can happen.
2nd thing to try would be to type in this command ,"dxdiag", without the quotes, in Start/Run. Run the Direct 3d, directx, and apg acceleration tests.
If dxdiag reports any problems then try Reinstalling your current version of DirextX or better yet Updating to the lastest Verison, which would be Dx9.0b. Also if anything were to happen during this process you can go hereV
DirectX Buster is a DirectX uninstaller for Windows 9X, ME and W2K. It supports DirectX from Version 5 (DirectX 3 not tested but should work properly) up to DirectX 8.1 inclusive all new components. A...
and Wipe off every Direct version on your system and start anew. Direct Of course this is only under the assumption that this could be a Directx related problem.
You could try the second suggestion just for kicks as it wouldn't hurt anything.
8)
Also try running the game with nothing running in the backround

Since your cpu is probably stable at the current clock, i see no harm in leaping from 3.4 back to 2.6 then later back to 3.4. Because you already know your stable clock.

ok,
is it safe to bring it straight back down to 2.6 instead of incrementing it down? Also, when i go back up should i increment again or can i go right back to where it was?
