Please help me with my RX 9800 PRO not sure what the problem is.

My RX 9800 Pro has been working perfectly for the past few months in my other machine. My brother used it for awhile but found it was locking up with his computer and I assumed it was his machine so I took it back. Now it?s in my machine and after about 5 mins of use of openGL or any 3D app it freezes. The screen goes black and my monitor won?t turn on till I restart. I really want to avoid trying to replace it so any help would be awesome!

When I turn down settings it will last longer, like AGP down to 4x from 8
This lead me to believe it was an overheating problem.

So I downloaded speed fan ( never used it before ) and it shows this: http://www.enomheadwear.com/fff.JPG

What is it showing as 127C? If that is the card, you definately want to invest in some better cooling. Is it possible that your brother had tried overclocking it or anything? Did you ship it to him or d you live together? Is it possible that the heatsink was jarred loose? Are you sure the fan is spinning?
