Hi
Am I correct in thinking that my GPU (EVGA 8800 GTS) could be responsible for randomly crashing my PC. If I open the case all seems fine, but with the side panel on it crashes within minutes. I even had it crashing on the boot menu for selecting to enter windows in safe mode.
Had the panel of last night and ran GPUZ and it stated that the temp was +/- 50 degree C and the fan running at 40%. Will try GPUZ with panel on next.
I guess it could just be some dust blocking it up.
Otherwise, I guess I might have to make use of EVGA's Europe Holiday Redemption, because I stupidly forgot to register the card when I bought it in 2008. Anyone seen or used this?
Many thanks
