Ive been having problems with my pc frequently going to power save mode,and need resetting or rebooting itself ,some times on boot up from cold,which tek 4-6 resets before it goes into windows, or after a few mins after start up,im guessing its down to the gpu,geforce gtx 480,driver 306.97, not ocd, so i downloaded afterburner to check temps which are 45-50c just now ,no games running,i have been running the gpu fan at 100% via afterburner,instead of stock speeds to see it it helps, but cant understand as it goes to power save on boot up ,cold. I only really play Planetside 2 at moment which can run fine for hours with the ocasional power save mode but it doesnt need resetting after,will simply just go black screen then back to game..the whole system was an OC bundle,i7 950 , probably 2 years old now would getting a new card,sort this annoying problem and if so whats a good replacement ? cheers in advance Q
