Problems with my 8800GT [NOT BANDWIDTH FRIENDLY]

Respital · 06-23-2009, 12:58 AM

Hey everyone, I'm been having some problems with my 8800GT it's a guess but i think it's most likely the problem. Now here's the situation, often when playing games like GRID or even The Sims 3 on default settings my GPU temp raises EXPONENTIALLY (as high as 99 degrees C), before you ask I've already blown the dust out of it and that's not the problem. Also sometimes while alt-tabbing i encounter the error shown in the first picture and i never get a pop-up dialog nor do i know where to find it.

My rig is in my sig, as for other details i run dual monitors the Samsung and a no-name and my drivers are up to date.

Thanks guys!

my 8500GT can reach 105C but I don't have good cooling

Different chipset than your card, it can take more heat probably. You have cleaned the fins out, correct?

Have you check for any bulging or blown capacitors?

Try installing a older driver like 182

Also, try moving the fanspeed to around 80% and hitting apply, then back to 100%...

Whoah dude... that's pretty messed up.

I run GRID on like max with the 9600GT @ 1680x1050 and my card never gets past 65.
