ATI Radeon 1950 Overheating Quick Question

[BananaMouse]

Hi guys, im not gonna noob it up completly so i just have one short question. It involves the newest version of ATItool and my always-overheating ATI 1950.

I installed ATItool and checked some of the stats... i dont know what everything means, but clearly, some of them are NOT good. see below

Temprature Of voltage regulator: 0*c
GPU current draw: 0.0A
Fan: 70%
GPU temprature: steady above 80*c while doing NOTHTING (windows xp, firefox)
temprature temp chip: 50+ at all times

So my quick question is.... Its pretty bad that the current draw is 0.0A right? I mean, it sure sounds like bad >_<.

Im guessing there might be something wrong with the connector between the aux and graph card, but im really not that great with computer hardware

Thankfull for any reply!

Inside of ATI Tool or RivaTuner you can adjust your GPU fan speed to spin at a certain percentage at a give temperature. I used RivaTuner until I replaced the stock heatsink/fan with a Zerotherm 810.

P.S. Your GPU fan might be dead. Check to make sure it is spinning.
I purchased a brand new 3850 which came with a DOA fan before.
