I have just built a new system, the specs are in my sig
The problem is any time I try to run a game after about 5 min I start to get artifacts on the screen then the pc crashes back into windows Vista.
I have turned the gfx card fan up to 100% in rivatuner but it still happens.
The temp never goes above 59 deg c.
It happens in all my games C&C 3, quake wars, far cry, COD4.

please help
 
I'm not overclocking at all, the artifacts appear almost instantly then it crashes.
i've tryed diffrent drivers including beta ones it makes no diffrence.
 
I underclocked it to 600 Mhz for the core and 800 Mhz for the ram and was able to play enemy territory for about 35 min before it crashed.
I think I may have to rma the card.
