Hi guys!

After I installed Windows 7(64b), my PC goes in sleep mode after entering games.. Have only installed AoC and CoD:MW2 and it takes about 10seconds after I enter the game, to go in sleepmode.

Tried to put a reguler fan towards the GPU, that gave me 2 more minutes ingame, before it went to sleep mode again.
This problem never appeared in Vista, so I dont know if maybe Win7 have some lower temp settings?

My graphic card is ATI HD3870.

Any tips would be very appreciated! :)
Thnx!

Noticed I have directx 11 installed, how do it uninstall it to get dirx10?
System informasion about radeon 3870 says it allows max dirx 10.1, is that maybe the problem?
