ATI ARE A BUNCH OF FAGS. I've had sooo much fking trouble with them its unbelievable. For starts,

my radeon is modded for coolness.
-I have a CORB (Crystal Orb) on the GPU, and ramsinks on both sides of the card.

My case runs about 84 degrees F.

AND IT STILL FKING OVERHEATS!
I CLOCK THE BASTARD DOWN NOW AND I STILL FREEZE UP....

FUCK.....

/rant.

Blorbs are shit coolers. They look good yeah but as far as cooling goes theyre not worth a shit.

Look at my 8500.

Now thats a cooler with some nuts to it biggrin:

As for freezing its not always the gfx card, could be a cpu overheating a sound card driver glitch or anything like that. If you're overclocking your gfx or cpu try backing it down to default speeds. If you;re using a via based motherboard you could try updating the 4in1 drivers too.
