j0 all!

Something's seriously wrong. When I play games, the GPU crashes quite often. Some games don't make it crash at all (mostly older games like Heroes III, Deus Ex and so on, but also D&D Online), but most games make it crash either like once every couple hours or every 5 minutes.

When I bought my current system I didn't really do a proper install of anything. I basicly installed WinXP over my old install. That's pretty bad, I know, but I have several million bytes to save and NOWHERE to save them, so a clean install wasn't really an option.

One wierd thing is that the game that makes it crash most often is Europa Universalis III, which isn't GPU-heavy at all.

The GPU fan is always fixed at 100% and it idles at 35C. Load temps I'm not sure, but I don't think it's a lot.

Anyway, is the problem drivers or bad software overall? I have preordered Win7, and then I will buy a nice new drive and wipe EVERYTHING from everything, so I don't want to mess around too much.

Thanks for looking!

what are the specs (and how old is) your PSU... id say that would be my first port of call.
also check your gpu temps on load... (vrm , memory etc...)

ATiTool doesn't even start. No idea why. When I run Furmark the GPU sensors show 53/59C, so it isn't very warm. VRM temps are not available. BTW, when I run furmark everything is smooth. It feels like it's software related.
