That is weird, but maybe still; It definitely has something to do with you?????????re 3D accelerator, you aren?????????t over clocking or anything? What?????????s you?????????re VGA?????????s temperature?

First thing, when was the last time you got rid of all the dust inside your computer?

Have you updated your display drivers?

What i'd try if shutting of computer, open her inside and give her a cleaning (don't use windex or something, only your hands or a fine feather duster) and get rid of all the dust. Restart, retry.

If i am having problems similar to yours, that usually works for me.

Mine does! Do you have a solution for this? Buy more expensive cooling or something like that? [:D]

Yup. But the stock fans are usually perfect for a normal user that doesn't check how far he/she can push the clock speed.

This can also happen to a damaged 3d accelerator or when the clock settings are configured incorrectly. Another problem might be the strange liquid stuff in between the GPU and the heat sink, this liquid (Thermal silicon compound) shouldn?????????t be removed and should actually be replaced every time you take off you?????????re heat sink.

Every thing is allright now...

Reinstalled drivers, every thing is ok:D

@Mikado

A lot of things can cause this..
-Does it happen in just one game or something or totaly random???
-how many things are you doing at the same time
- is your RAM ok???
-Drivers!!!
-Overheating of CPU, GPU or any other part of your PC
-Is your Power Supply Strong enough???
-Many more... try to give more details...

99% of the time you just have to reinstall drivers, so I'm glad that worked. Usually the next step would be to manually underclock the card or increase the fan speeds using a program. Might be a good idea for extra performance anyways IMO.

Under clock Doesnot improve Performance, It slows down the card and cooling it down as result of it.

My fan is good, 39C is not hot for a GPU, it's max is around 100C, then you see artifacts and flashes and the card is cooking it self.

my prev card had it, it was the same only the cooler broke so i swapped it for a new one at the store.

but if your PC restarts it self, it can be a lot off different things...

No shiz ..

But if it keeps restarting then I'm gauranteeing you that it's not your GPU if your positive it's not overheating. I've heard of sensors going quick on some components though.
