I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 2GB Edition graphics card. This is my second one since the 1st once suffered from the known GSoD issue.
While updating to the 13.4 driver the windows installer stopped working. I thought nothing of it since the installation of the driver continued and the end result was successful. Not 20 minutes after that and while browsing the web my card started working at 80+% activity and gained 5Celcius per second! The fan was working at 70+% too! In a matter of seconds I shut down my PC. The temps went from the normal 30C to 55C in 5 seconds!
Uppon restart everything seems fine, but what was that?! Any ideas? Should I be worried?
