Hi,
would appreciate the collective wisdom of the boards on a problem.
Playing world in conflict my pc shuts itself down on particularly busy sections. The shut down itself is similar to the cut out you get when a cpu is overheating.
Running prime95 seems to have eliminated cpu/ram problems and speedfan tells me the GPU temp goes up to about 77 c at which point the system cuts out.
so my question is whether there is a way of tell if the problem occurs because the PSU isn't giving the gfx card enough power to cool effectively or if the gfx card is borked. any thoughts?
C2D 2.4 ghz
2gb ram
hiper 580w PSU
8800 gts 320mb video card
