Hey,

My graphic card is overheating a lot recently (60-70c at idle, sometimes 40-50c and then my computer works fine for while but if I run 3dmark my graphic card drivers usually crashes). I also see different artifacts on my screen and after that my computer usually freezes.

I have tried to use my motherboard integrated GPU and then my computer works fine without any problems.. So I think my nvidia gtx 470 is damaged? My psu can't be broken right? If my computer works fine with motherboard GPU.

I have tried to reinstall windows and I have uninstalled few times all my nvidia drivers with ''Display Driver Uninstaller'' so I don't think it can be driver problem.

I also have cleaned my graphic card from dust

Could be that the GTX 470 is giving up on you.
Both the Gigabyte and ASUS version are great, couldn't go wrong with either choice.
