For some reason my X1950 Pro keeps locking up when I play Half Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2. After a few seconds GPU recover kicks in and everything seems fine for a bit and then it locks up again. I can play Half Life 2 itself with all settings on max fine so I though it might be something to do with the HDR effects in Ep 1 + 2, but it locks up with those disabled and I can play Lost Coast with no problems. I've also used ATI Tools to increase the fan speed but that doesn't make any difference.
If it was crashing playing HL2 as well I would assume its a borked card but it will quite happily play that all day and its not temperature related as it has locked up at under 70C. Everything is running on the latest drivers and nothing is overclocked. Anyone any thoughts or should I be thinking of a new card?
My full specs are:
Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R motherboard
HIS ATI Radeon X1950 Pro
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
2GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM
250GB Seagate Barracuda
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 PSU
Windows XP SP2

I'll try Crysis tomorrow but I assume it should run fine now as well.
