so, I got an XFX HD 7870 DD yesterday and its working like a champ!! Maxes out Lords of Shadow 2 no problem....Started playing Thief today and the benchmark averaged 63fps, 88fps max. Question: it idles at 32-34 degrees Celsius...LoS2 hit low 50s and Thief hit mid 60s(both on max settings)...are these normal temps? also, after I quit Thief earlier, i stepped outside for about 20 minutes and when I came in, the screen was black...i tried clicking the mouse, turning monitor on and off, but no luck...powered off PC. When I started it, Windows 8.1 took over a minute to start, then the screen read: scanning and repairing drive. The scan completed and it started like normal. I was wondering what could have caused this? Did the gpu temp get too high and effect the HDD? Thanks in advance for your help!! My system specs are as follows(the aforementioned GPU is the only upgrade): http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03518194&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
