Shadowfox's response to me in my failed attempts to annoy himOriginally Posted by ShadowFox
I am using a Vantec ion2+ 620w.I agree with Azimuth... What power supply are you running because when installing a new GFX card you have to take into consideration the amount of power hungry resources your card is going to use...
Yep. I have re-installed Cod 4. and the same also happens with Modern Warfare 2. Last night I played Modern Warfare 2 with everything on Max except the res.have you tried reinstalling cod4. Did you reinstalled windows. Also try getting the latest drivers at www.guru3d.com they are the best works great for me and I'm running a Geforce GTX280 with the latest drivers. to monitor you temp use the latest gpu-z.
if you can load that app and give us the temps for gpu and also the memory. maybe the memory is overheating.
I played Borderlands for an hour and a half with everything in full and works fine. Also Played Street Figther IV on Max for about +-40minutes in the weekend and worked fine. I will install gpu-z tonight.
I started with new profile and the same occurs. I installed GPU-Z. How would I know if my GPU temperature is too hot? The sensors are on, and if their is a crash it should write to the log file?
Here a screenshot of current temperature:

Howly mother of shit. thats hot for a gpu. install rivatuner or msi afterburner and put your fan speed on 100%. just be sure to let it apply settings on startup. I'm using msi afterburner
If you don't like the noise then there is no hope for you.
Also check the continue refreshing this screen while gpu-z is in background. while gpu-z is running play cod4 until it kick you out. Then go to gpu-z and click on everything and select it to read maximum temp.
Send us a pic then so that I can see what the temps are while playing cod4
Also that's on power saving and already 58C I got a GTX280 and it's idle on power saving at 40C

I think I am going to take the PSU back to the store. or maybe take my PC and try another PSU. Both the PSU and GPU are new in my PC. Maybe one of the two is faulty.

The card is a tight fit, but there a lot of fans on the case.
cool. then we sorted. Can't wait to see the pics to help you some more. Just remember to send us pics of you pc setup as well
Also make sue that one of the harddrives isn't to close to the gpu.
