100C, that is quite high i know normally you can see that card hit around 87C+ while playing games, so 100C during furmark would be close to accurate.

maybe it isnt the video card shutting down the PC, could be something else. but as everyone mentioned before, its not because the agp cannot handle it

OH man that's high temperatures. I've also noticed your fan is at 50% only. I'd suggest to download MSI afterburner from http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/overview.htm and creating custom FAN profile so it hits 100% at 70-75°C.

 

[CoR87]

Will try with afterburner and let you know what I get Thanks a lot!

 

[Sunius]

Glad to help .

OK mate I've did all that, GPU-Z is reading my fan at 100% but it doesn't sounds like that. 1st that's not the original GPU cooler. The original cooler was 4cm and it's dead, so I've attached 8cm cooler with 3-pins connector and I connect it directly to my motherboard. I have 2 pins on my GPU, the place where should I connect my cooler, but I have 3 pins connector on cooler :S What to do???

 

[CoR87]

Here, take a look what I did.

Oh god that's why you're getting such temperatures. It is spinning? I mean, did you check if it was spinning when the computer is on? Is there a heatsink behind it?

 

[CoR87]

Yes it's spinning, it has same speed as my CPU fan 2389rmp.

 

[Sunius]

Is there a heatsink beneath it?

 

[CoR87]

Yes there is.

Since I've installed MSI Afterburner my problem has solved. Thanks a lot Sunius

My PC didn't restart pr shut down not even once, I think I won't have more trouble now. And temperatures of GPU and GPU Core are always about 50*C now. Thank you mate.

 

[Sunius]

Glad I helped you solve it . Remember, always monitor temps if it ever comes back.
