[HELP] Radeon 9700 Pro

[Nikola_Tesla]

Whenever I play a video game it runs fine for a little while then my vid card will freeze. Then I crtl alt del and its good again. But then sometime if crashes completely and either restarts my computer or its a black screen and I have to reset anyway. I have already updated my drivers for the card and still same problem any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help

My 9700 PRO AIW does the samething, except it happens when watching tv for long periods of time. Have you looked at your card lately? I mean have you physically checked out the fan/heatsink combo? Cause I will say that my fan fell off the heatsink and I never knew it. I replaced it with a zalman hp with fan combo. And from that point I have never had the issue again. Also you might jsut want to look into buying a new vid card. Like a x850xt pe or something.

BTW I have my aiw 9700 overclocked to 360 core and 370 ram.
