    Yes, i m running with stock cooler. Another problem is, my room temperature (when AC is off) is around 35C+ :( And yes, i did forget to buy thermal paste, i just cleaned and reseated HS. I think i'll buy CoolerMaster HTK solution (since near my place they are out of Arctic Silver 5), and use it...

    So, now it really does seem like there should not be anything wrong with the card, right? I'll definitely need to check up on CPU though. I hope my gfx card is not faulty.

    I simply cannot OC my CPU :( ... idle temp it is running at is 71C!!! I have not checked if HDD is badly fragmented, but do you really think that maybe a really bad fragmented HDD can do this? Because if that was the case, it should persistently cause degraded performance. I'll still check.

    Yes, I'll monitor using RivaTuner and post the screens when that problem occurs. Regarding Powerplay, i already tried auto-oc from ATT - set both 2d/ 3d profiles to 775MHz Core and 1000Mhz Mem clock. To see if card shifts from 2D to 3D, i put event sounds in ATT (so monitoring 2D/ 3D shift was...
