Well if I am curious have you tried Vista Compatibility?


Also any drivers Microsoft thinks is good for you 100% of the time are not. Its like trusting a blind man to pick out a hot girl in crowd of men.

actually saying that about the drivers, I have tried it with windows 7 using its own drivers after a clean install and also with ATI's drivers with the same results.....

older drives could be an idea actually, its about the last thing left to try. Even updated the BIOS (which was 10 revisions old) and still the issue remains. There is of course the chance that its just a windows 7 glitch that could be fixed in time by MS themselves

I would wager you did the safe mode driver sweeper? I had a issue with my nvidia drivers causing BSOD once by not doing it.

Could also try a older version of driver see if maybe the new ones suck ^-^

apparently it wasnt!

still working on it, using EXPERTool to ramp the fan up a bit and about to test now, temp is currently down to about 48C so far lower than the 70C it was at....

So was it a overheat issue? I hate not knowing ><
