Just built a new computer last week (specs will follow), and I'm having some issues. 1) Vidcard seems to be overheating... after anywhere from 1-3 hours of gaming, I'll start to experience video corruption, and will have to reboot to clear it.. its not game-dependant, and even makes plain text on the desktop look screwy 2) Just downloaded a motherboard monitoring program (HMonitor, www.hmonitor.com), and its reporting my Core and Aux voltages in the red, at 1.78V and 1.23V respectively. I'm not sure if this is bad, or how bad, or how to go about correcting this problem... advice would be appreciated AMD XP 2000+ (w/stock fan, waiting for my ordered Volcano9 to arrive this week), Gigabyte GA-7VAXP, 512mb PC333 (Infineon/Samsung), ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb (Saphire), Enermax 430w, LG 16x48x DVD, LG 48x24x48 CDRW, no additional PCI cards (using onboard NIC/Audio), 2x Maxtor 80gig 7200rpm in RAID 0, 1x Maxtor 60gig 5400rpm, 2x Thermaltake 60mm casefans, 1x TT 80mm casefan, a PCI Slot exhaust fan below the vidcard, a TT Hardcano2 dual-lcd temp monitor, and dual-fan removable hdd bay, running WinXP Pro w/SP1 /Zaltec

I had the same problem with my Radeon 8500 and got very frustraded, specially when spending lots of coin like you just did. So I've slap in my roomate Nvidia GF4 TI4200 and now the machine work like a charm, since he is'nt a gamer we trade and solve the problem that way, Never had a single glitch since even after a full day of very demanding game playing. ATI make eccelent card but for gaming they've seem to have divers issue. good luck

my friend has friends that work on the ati drivers...my friend is surprised that the drivers even work :)

Do you have case cooling? What kind of temp readings are you getting? CPU & case temps?

I got my Volcano9 in this week, and it made a *huge* difference... (its amazing what 75cf/m of air will do) Stock fan - 40-45C case temp, 55-65C CPU temp Volcano9 w/Arctic3 - 22-26C case temp, 32-42C CPU temp I've got a Thermaltake 80mm in the front-bottom, 2xTT 60mm fans above the CPU in the back, a PCI slot exhaust fan (sits in an empty PCI slot) below the vidcard (but its not quite long enough to match up below the vidcard fan), a dual-fan enermax power supply, a removable hdd bay with 2 fans (both 40mm, pretty useless), and a TT Hardcano2 with another (useless) 40mm fan now, its seeming to be completely random... it'll work fine for hours, then screw up... but its always when I'm gaming, and it'll almost always do it if I have my heating vent near it unblocked (its about 2' away to the side, right behind it) going to order a Thermaltake chrome orb today, i think... I'd like to try to find some ram heatsinks for it too /Zaltec
