| 1302794 | 2012-09-23 00:48:00 | Just got a desktop gadget that measures the temperature of the GPU It goes up to 68 Degrees!!!!! (celcius) Not necessarily. 68 isn't that high for a GPU you know. And your specs are OK. Sometimes it can be the game software.......as you say, just that one game. Run 3DMark in a loop for a while, see if it crashes. If not, then I'd blame the software on the game. Are there any patches out for it? What does the games own forum have to say? Others with the same issue? |

| 1302795 | 2012-09-23 02:13:00 | Sometimes it's not the software itself but the way the software uses the hardware. Faulty hardware can sometimes work fine as long as the software running on it doesn't do anything to trigger an issue. A brand-new video card I bought would have visible graphical issues in some games and not others, but even then, the problems were quite subtle and hard to notice. But I returned the card and had it replaced. According to the shop, it turned out the VRAM was faulty. |

| 1302796 | 2012-09-23 02:57:00 | Just got a desktop gadget that measures the temperature of the GPU It goes up to 68 Degrees!!!!! (celcius) SO overheating is the problem 68 is not hot for a GPU, but what's the PC doing when you got that reading? is it just sitting on the desktop or is it running while you play the game? If it's 68 at idle then that is hotter than you'd expect. You could run Furmark, it stresses the GPU to 100% and graphs the temperature. If it stays under 80 you don't have an issue with heat. Also check your CPU temperature with realtemp or the motherboard utility if you have one, shutting down is more of a CPU overheat symptom than a GPU one, and it also has a fan that you could be hearing. Theoretically though the game shouldn't crash if the card overheats, the card should throttle itself down once it hits a certain temp and game performance should drop. And because it's new if it does look like it's temperature causing it then take it back and get them to fix it. It' quite possible there's a minor assembly error going on. |

| 1302797 | 2012-09-24 02:06:00 | It is that hot while playing the game so I guess it's alright from what you say, I'm at school right now so I can't test those programmes yet but I will when i get home. Thanks for all the help :D |

Others with the same issue? I haven't played many other graphics intensive games but I'll test 'em out. I'll use Flight sim x :D to test. It seems nobody else has that problem... |

| 1302799 | 2012-09-24 02:23:00 | Just had a look on the Furmark website and they have a picture of a GPU that their own programme burned up so..... I am not going to use that.... | Nikit07 (16761) | ||
| 1302800 | 2012-09-24 02:29:00 | Oh, and what temperatures should I be looking out for in the CPU test? Thanks :) |

| 1302801 | 2012-09-24 07:46:00 | Just did a CPU temperature test 45 degrees c was the max I got. then it crashed.... why? | Nikit07 (16761) | ||
| 1302802 | 2012-09-24 07:54:00 | i just read some more WOT forums and apparently some people have the same problem :o | Nikit07 (16761) | ||
