Hey,

I've got quite a problem. I installed nHancer a few days ago and applied a configuration to avoid TF2 deathcam flicker. It solved the problem but unfortunately also caused my GPU to get very, very hot (105 C which is max temp) resulting in a GFX shutdown. I've seen this happen primarily in L4D - after 10-20 minutes of play the core temp is 105 C, and the card shuts down, causing the computer to crash.
To resolve this problem I tried reinstalling nHance (I had removed it in the meantime) and using the "Reset all profiles" option - which didn't solve the problem.

Here are my specs:

- Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
- Antec Nine Hundred
- ASUS Rampage II Extreme Republic of Gamers
- Intel Core i7 920 @ 2,67 GHz
- 3x2 GB Corsair TWIN3X 1600MHz DDR3
- XFX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1,5 TB
- Samsung SyncMaster T220 1680x1050

Also, where does RivaTuner put log files? I logged some L4D gaming for analysis (I didn't change anything with RivaTuner; just logged some variables).

Thanks a bunch!

I don't have much advice other than you have other issues if your card is hitting 105C, the only thing that program can do it completely max out your GFX, which would happen at one point or another, now if your hitting 105C at max load you need some new cooling :)
