Hey

Just something that started yesterday - I had a quick game of painkiller and in the middle of the game I got a voice warning about some hardware fault :confused:

Wasn't too sure as I've never had any problems with my graphics card before, but I ran 3dMark and now that stops after the 3rd test - screen dies and computer locks.

Is it overheating?

Card is a Asus X800 XTPE, overdrive shows temp as 45 idle, and after 2 min of painkiller it was 60+.

Any ideas? Thanks

Raz
 
hey

No, that's just it - haven't changed a single thing. Haven't added any hardware or made any software changes. Any utilities to monitor the card while running 3dmark or something?

thanks
 
hey, thanks for all the replies :)

Not sure why the temp would start affecting it now, since I've had it there's been no issues.

PSU? Maybe...It's an old enermax, had it for a number of years so maybe it's the one thats on it's way?
