video card overheating

Postby macz » Fri Nov 21, 2014 7:42 am

something wrong with my video card again?
also when i was playing the game for only 1 minute i kept on seeing black screen graphical glitches like something is wrong with the monitor, but i think due to the temperature of the video card this is normal?

The ATI 5700 series came out in 2009, your video card is around 5 years old and that gay background is making it overheat.

Try installing the latest drivers and made sure it's not full of dust. Please keep us updated.

took the video card out, cleaned it full of dust with my sisters blowdryer and it seems to of fixed the problem.
88C in a game before i cleaned it, 55C in a game after i cleaned it seems to of made a big difference to say i only cleaned dust.
sup with my background? i like the colors lol

I had this problem with my old gtx 460 it would go to 55 degrees or something and i wanted it at 40, i cleaned up the dust and took it apart and reapplied the thermal paste, and it went to 45. So i was satisfied at least.
