That is probably why. Also Xfx cards are not the best for overclocking.
But the 5830s are the same, and they have given me no problems
Where did you get the 5850? Maybe you are eligible for a manufacturer or vendor warranty. You can try RMA with XFX.
It sounds like the card most likely had some existing hardware defect, but what voltage did you use with it? Voltage is definitely the most volatile setting for a card.

Amazon.com. I'll try to return it there.
