    something quite noob to ask...i run furmark with xtreme burning mode in default resolution....is it correct to use these settings to check the stability of the gfx or should i turn off xtreme burning mode?

    Just rma it as it will only cause you issues

    Oh and seatools tests the drive not Windows so a format wouldn't have changed anything
