Is my card dieing? =(

[crisbduck]

Hey I was just playing CSS and it froze and my two screens both went to blank colours ( matching the most common colour that was there before, so a pale orange for css and a pale blue from ocuk forums on the other if that makes sense)
This has now happened 4 times after playing for ~30mins each time
It seems like a graphics problem?

System is;
AMD 1055t and ATI 4670
Cheers!

Montior the temperature of the card as close as possible to the usual time of the crash. If it's overheating blow the dust out of the heatsink.

I'll do that now
Just thought, my case is a lian li v351 (matx with mother board flat to ground) the cpu cooler is an arctic pro 64 and is blowing air into the back of the card. Cause this cause a fault?

Not good but unless this configuration coincided with your problem, not likely the cause.

The 4670 is a fairly old card so im guessing that dust build up and overheating are to blame. Best option is to get afterburner and monitor temps. As said above.
Is the catd still in warranty?

Theres little dust and the card was originally bought in November 2009, RMAed last summer and got a new one back so its not really that old
CSS crashes the pc before I can load a game now.. will try another game in a min.
Looked at temps on catalyst control centre and it was 51 idle and 70 during the game
A part of me wants it to die so I can get a new one =$

thanks for the replys btw!

Get MSI afterburner to monitor FPS and temps in game. Try RMAing again, getting a new card, selling then buying a better one.
Just make sure that it is a card issu first
