X1900XTX overheating problem

[Slyman2k4]

Like title says my sapphire X1900XTX has started clocking 90-105 in temp and making a beeping noise with the screen flickering. It might have done this before i dunno but with my new dell 2407FPW even in wow. (yea wow lol thats when i thought something was wrong) temps started hitting 105 after a week and my pc emits a weaker version of the system beep and the screen flickers every so often when it overheats. So decided to hit the speed of the fans up as the ones before had it hitting 30% at 100c i think or something silly like that and it got it down to 60c idle and around 79 in wow with fan speeds of 32% at 70 and 100% at 100. It still gets noisey but wasnt as noisey when i put it to 100% at 60c. So i was wondering is there any way i could fix this or test it? or would this warrant an rma?

I had had enough of it after today when the heat in CoD2 were hitting 90+ and started blinking out.

yea well i decided to try ati tools instead of ati tray tools since it had a artifact finder etc. Thought it would find an error something, here is the log.

I had to stop after that point because well the monitor lost connection and went into power saving mode lol.

yea they are spinning mate, have a clear view into the case from the window and its running like a trooper. Sounds like a plane taking off at full speed lol. Well it crashed again while playing CoD2. Ive had it for more than over a year so i dont think ill be able to rma it back to ocuk and will have to get in touch with sapphire.

Im going on holidays tomorrow, so im considering if sapphire fob me off i might get a X1950 over there. But then again id be afraid of it going dud and me not being able to rma it due to region xD.
