EDIT: I had tray tools logging what it could, and the 5th event occurred and this is the log (it only logs temps)
Would this be card or PSU?
I looked inside to see a single red LED light on, and the "D1601 Overtemp Protect" written on the card near the LED.
Been searching the internet for similar problems, have not been able to find one, but that could be a matter o too many similar keywords

This has happened three times recently. 2 occurred when I manually set the fan to the lowest setting. Although I was only web surfing, I thought i might have done something or a web page increased the gpu activity and it overheated and reset.
It has happened a third time now with the CCC software controlling the fan speed. The card seems to be operating normally. 0% activity it says and idles at 36C, with the lowest fan speed at 40% (when on automatic). Absolutely no warning or a slowdown in the system.
On each occurrence, video output stops, and the fan goes to 100%. I am guessing 100% because the faw whines up and it sounds as if I manually set it to 100%. It doesn't appear that my computer restarted as all the power lights stay on. Have not been playing any games, only desktop publishing. One evening, they occurred together two nights ago, and again just now. Only oddity I was doing at the time was running two F@H cpu clients and or a torrent program. Using the 9.3 Catalyst drivers. Websurfing when it happened.
Should I RMA this card?
