First of all, thank you for your reply Riider, that clarify pretty well my main question, but yeah, there is some specimens, like me, that doesn't know and for sure about some technicalities still, so when exists a doubt it is better to ask to people whit more knowledge about the subject : ). Secondly, and that is what leads me to ask about a probable damage to my card, is that every time i try to play the game Napoleon Total War, which is pretty demanding in terms of hardware and graphic requirements, it makes the GPU stop working causing a black screen and locks down my PC. By now i can't even run the MSI afterburner bench mark test whit out having the same issue, the only message that i receive from the Win7 system is that the Nvidia driver as stoped working. I notice the problem begins when the GPU monitoring Temp reaches the 78°C, and the CPU temp reaches at least 75°C wich i think that it is not to high. I currently use the EVGA Precision to manage the GPU fan speed, and Real Temp software to monitor the general PC system temps, but the only thing that seems to work for me was to underclock the GPU clock, the voltage, and the GPU memory clock, but the issue persists when i restore the full features, it is so frustrating. By the way everything else runs well, other games like Assassin's Creed 3, movies, etc, except that TW game.
