Hi,
I got a Sapphire Radeon HD4850 1GB at Christmas, and it ran fine. It was idling at 39/40c, and only getting to ~55c while playing. About a week later, TF2 started randomly freezing for several seconds at a time. Sometimes it would happen 2-3 times in a sitting, sometimes it wouldn't happen for 2-3 days. In CoD4, instead of freezing, it lowers down to ~15FPS for the same amount of time. I checked my temperature a few minutes ago, and it is now idling at 50c and getting up to 65/70c while playing. I haven't overclocked or changed any settings whatsoever. Has anyone else experienced these problems, or know of a fix?
