It will be best if you test your card on some other system....Most probably your graphics card is faulty but it may also be the fault of your mobo ....Is your card properly seated on the mobo???What temps are you running at??Are your drivers updated??

it seems like overheat problem to me since the problem only appear after a few minutes playing the game and not come right away when launching the game. check you idle and in game temperature. but this problem may also caused by card going bad.

Sounds like its your graphics card. Did you just recently buy it or did it just suddenly start doing this one day?


Actually its doing from the day i purchased. but i thought my PSU is insufficent
(old :p SU cooler MAster Extreme power 550watts with 2 +12volt with each @16A) so i bought a new after 3 months(New PSU: Corsair TX750) but again i have the same problem.

Did you have a card before that XFX 4870? If it was an Nvidia then maybe you dident completely remove all of its drivers and its causing conflicts.


yup the old one was Nvidia but i formate the OLD OS and instal a fresh OS before that and the problem is still there......:(

humm...my idle temp of HD 4870 is 60C or 62C and in game it reaches to 75c
and to view that i intall another my brother LCD with this card to play game on 1 LCD and view temp onanother LCD and i saw before crash it reaches to 75c . and i also open the case for proper ventilation just to check heat issue but still no progress and also i manually increase my FAN to 80% then 100% but the problem is still the same......so what do i do ,can i claim warranty for that as my card is faulty........:(
