so i strongly suspect that my gpu is on its last legs (waiting for 1070 release at this point) as it has been regularly overheating during most games for the last 6 months, but recently i noticed a weird pattern (here). this is during a game of League (which before today would never cause the...

Trust me, my case flow is fine. Even at 100C when I touch the case it's colder than the room. Also this started happening out of the blue last Nov. without me changing the hardware in any way, and worked perfectly with this exact case for many years before. I've tried vsync, doesn't help. It...

I have a GTX570 that I strongly suspect of being toast, and I'll replace it as soon as the Pascal cards come out. Meanwhile the problem I have is that the GPU overheats very quickly when playing most games (even old ones like Borderlands 2, that I could previously play with no issue). Once it...

hmm i see how that might work, but i can't even unplug them once - i know there's a little flap you have to press, but it doesn't seem to help. plus why would all 3 fans get bad connections at the same time? could it be a faulty psu?

right, that's what i've been doing to get into bios - i've looked through all the settings and the only thing is the QST monitor i mentioned. also i installed speedfan to see if i could control it from the software side, but nope, doesn't detect any fans either.

mobo update - CPUID returns the following data manufacturer - LENOVO model - to be filled by O.E.M. chipset - Intel P35/G33/G31 Rev. A2 southbridge - Intel 82801IR (ICH9R) Rev. 02 LCPIO - ITE the layout is almost identical to this, except it says "Rev V0.21" instead of "Rev V1.0",

ok i'll tell you about the mobo when i get home tonight - off the top of my head ik that the case and cpu fans both plug directly into it - case has 3-pin connector, cpu has 4-pin. this is a prebuilt/refurbished Lenovo system to which i've been adding/upgrading components as needed over the...

background on what i've done: so i've been recently having gpu troubles and so have been turning my pc on and off a lot and taking the gpu out/putting it back in. after one of these events, when i was ready to turn my pc on - it just wouldn't. the case is rather small so i thought maybe i...

i've seen similar threads on this forum but none of them have helped me so i'll try here. I have a gtx 570 which has been going fine until this week when it suddenly started overheating after i installed Tomb Raider (2013). It idles at 50-60 C and stays there when i'm for instance watching...

hey did you find a solution after all? i have an identical problem with my gtx 570 - suddenly started overheating after i installed Tomb Raider (2013). I've since -uninstalled Tomb Raider -cleaned the fan/heatsink -clean nvidia driver reinstall (multiple times and different versions, now on...
