Hello!
Last night when playing Company of Heroes on mid-high settings game suddenly freezed and the screen went green and rippled. I immediately shut down my computer, as I realized this kind of errors are caused by overheating gpu. After turning on computer again I checked my GPU temperature log and max temperature was 57c. Right now the card is idling at 36c. I tried playing again a little later, but again - green screen and freeze.
I have tried overclocking my GPU once, but I havn't used oc in games as I have feared frying the card. I recently installed new GPU cooler, wich dropped temps a lot. After installing it I have played lot and everything have worked great even after playing long periods of time. That's why it was a little surprising to see such errors after maby 40 minutes of gaming. Just last weekend I played Company of Heroes many hours straight - no errors and temps stayed bearable.
So what to do now? Is it time to buy a new card if problems persist?
