ok i figured it out. the sata cable for my 400 gig drive was due to the cable's flexing and my unobservant eye pushed up against the fan. fan works now. i'm surprised it didn't die lol. yayy 😀

i've been using everest to check my processor temps and what not. i've been seeing my gpu temp has been running at about 96 celsius and 67 celsius ambient. i thought maybe it was a glitch. ati tool is reporting the same thing. before i was getting like 50 or so max celsius i think. so i feel the back of the card near the expansion slots (cause i have a ati silencer 1) and i don't feel much air if any. i look in the case cause the side is off still from when i upgraded it but still leaning against the case, and the ati silencer fan is not spinning!!!! this might explain my elevated cpu temps and random reboots at higher than 2.25 gigahertz!!!!!! OH NO@!!@@

is my card fried? i'm about to turn off the computer to see why the fan isn't working, if its a lose cable etc. i haven't been playing any games thank goodness. just a few instances of dvd shrink. iv'e had everything in the case fans running at max (2 80mm, 2 120 mm, and the power supply fan at max) since the upgrade cause the opty165 was running hot.

the card still works (running a ati x800xt aiw agp card with an ati silencer 1 and copper ocz bga ramsinks). this is pretty bad! I can't believe this crap. i hope its nothing major (but i do have the original ati heatsink i could use if the silencer has gone bad and is not a loose cable or anything).

MAN this sucks 🙁
 
When I first played Oblivion, after about 2 minutes my video would cut off or mess up. Turned out my 6800 Ultra was overheating. Dust had built up, and by the time I got to the Nvidia temp monitor after closing Oblivion it was 80 degrees Celcius. Dusted it, and it runs at 45. No damage.
 
ive been running hte last week like this

i hope the fan will spin after i power off and check it out 🙁. i don't know how long this has been like this.
 
The chip may be damaged. See if it's slower or if you get artifacts at stock clocks. I know the AMD chips are supposed to be able to tolerate up to 80 c for a short time, and that GPUs are more heat toerlant.
 
I don't quite understand everything in the original post, but my oldest son (who knows a lot about computers) has five fans in our computer to keep it cool.
 
i'm suprised it installed windows ok in 7 minutes overheating like that and ran for 5 days straight that hot :Q

good ati chip. good. good artic cooler
😀
