PD=ive already installed "ATITOOL" "ATI TRAY TOOL" and "EVEREST ULTIMATE EDITION" and nothing, i cant find any option about my Video card Temperature

Well, i aprecciate any help or advice. Thanks

If its overclocked back it back down to the default settings.

If you've never overclocked it and its doing that get an aftermarket cooler, ATIs cooling for the 9800Pro is a pitiful joke, I have an ATI 9800 pro and had to go aftermarket on the cooler also.

well you could buy a new coller for it to fix the problem.

It is possible that the card has been damaged now though isnt it?

As to what caused the problem perhaps the fan stuffed up a bit or maybe it just was always too hot and decided it wants to start dying.

You wont find a program to read the temperature because the 9800 series doesnt have a temp sensor on it.
