Black64 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Your GPU is overheating/ overclocked way to high. I have seen this before on a 8800GTS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbrennan2008 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Your GPU is overheating/ overclocked way to high. I have seen this before on a 8800GTS I 2nd this. More than likely the GPU. It can also occur if you raise the GPUs ram frequency too high, i've experienced that before on my old 4870. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippy999 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Could it be the Graphics card is not working right? i just got the card last week, but the system even did it with intergrated graphics, could the power supply be not giving consistant power as its cheap and crap? the GPU was not overclocked to begin with. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluePanda Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Well if it's coming up during internet browsing I'd say it's not likely your video card... since it shouldn't be working very hard. I guess your best bet is to check your temps on your over clock... maybe down clock it to see if the problem continues. Otherwise it might be that "crappy psu" like cery25 said.

gotdamojo06 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 def GPU issue...happens to me all the time when I am overclocking GPUs you need to check the stability of your GPU clocks, either reduce your clock speeds or increase your voltages a tad Good Luck!
