Heello.
Got a little question re my 4850 (HIS 512mb)
My Specs are in my Sig, the thing is, when i play a new(ish) game like CoDWaW or Fear2 or FC2 after about 3 minutes of playing my ati driver stops working and restarts its self, causing the game to close.
Before this happens sometimes i have a few artifacts/squares/blocks appear on the screen.
When i look at GPU-Z my gfx card is around 75 / 80 Degrees Max. (idling at about 40).
Anyone any ideas?
- im 90% sure its not my clock settings for gpu as it does it when i lower them. clock speeds are at 690 / 1088 (not as spec says) & i game at 1920 x 1200
- old games like Wolf:ET run fine, no problems at all.
I am currently using a 500w psu and condisering my cpu/gpu are oc'd, i have 4 hdds, loads of fans, case lighting etc, anychance my psu might not be strong enough? - i hope its this cuz i want a modular PSU and this will justify buying one haha - atm i am using a OCZ StealthXStream 500w Silent ATX2 Power Supply.
Also on the list is a new Gfx Card, im waiting to see the new 4890
Thanks Guys
