here are my specs
sonata mrk 3 case,
EVGA 512-P3-N802-AR GEFORCE 8800GT 512MBDDR3 SUPERCLOCKED
850w psu, by antec.
5200x2 amd, @ stock speeds.
2x2gb kingston ram @800mhz.
m2n32-sli deluxe/wifi edition asus mobo.
now the problem is that i can play any non graphycally demanding game for hours, use any applications just fine, dont even need to increase the fan speed from the factory settings of 29%.
once i do start playing games that demand more off the GPU i turn the fan up to 90% and make sure the temps dont go over 60C which im told for video cards is pretty low.
so once i turn on the fan and go to play a game like hellgate london, or guitar hero or crysis. it works for a while anywhere from 30 mins to a couple of hours, and then it freezes the screen.
like for a few seconds i can see a picture of whatever was displayed before (kindof like a really badly taken screenshot) with some discolored pixels in there.
then screen goes black, blue screen of death comes on. with a report saying somethine like; "your system has recovered from serious error" or crash cant remember. then it says something along the lines of "dumping bad memory".
then screen goes completely black untill i hit reset button.
i downloaded the latest available forceware drivers, and now im really out of ideas.
i dont know if bios has anything to do with this or if this is a faulty card.
another random issue i noticed is that it sometimes has fps drops... like in crysis for example. everything is running nice and smooth then all of the sudden its as if i got 10fps or some really low number of frames.
i originally though it was my ram that it was referring to, so i changed the ram to other sticks and it didnt make any difference
any help is appreciated.
