Ok so I`m thinking about liquid cooling....but if the ambient temp is 90F then the fans will be pulling in 90F air and the radiator will only cool to 90F, right? What I need is a little refrigeration unit....?? Ok, so I`m half kidding here. :P

Ok well...here`s something kinda new. when playing skyrim, after about 15 or 20 minutes my monitor goes into split screen. That is to say...it splits vertically so the left side is about 2/3 or 3/4 and the right is the rest. I have to close the game without saving and restart my PC to get back to normal.

That's odd. Hrm. You can try renaming the SkyrimPrefs.ini located in MyDocuments\My Games, in doing that it will force the game to detect your hardware again. Maybe something is confused? You can also try renaming the Skyim.ini (located in the same place) also, but I'm not too sure there's anything on that one that would cause this type of problem.

Check other games.

Check your drivers, are they up to date?

That's all I can think of at the moment. :cookie4u:

Thanks all. Two new developments .. I installed Witcher 2 and towards the end of the tutorial phase, got the split again...not too surprising. Looking at my myriad of desktop icons I found that I still had EVGA Precision, and EVGA OC Scanner still installed. I wonder if they`re running in the background and cousing some kind of conflict? I use Catalyst to control my AMD card.

Thanks HY. Funny thing...I finally got it from major geeks, and in trying it out I ran the stress test after raising the clock speed a tad...immediate shut down "...to protect my hardware..." Oopsie.

By the way, Softpedia set off my security and Guru insisted on DLing 7zip along with the app and my security liked that not at all, but at least it was just a strong caution, and not the scary red blocking screen I got with Cnet and Softpedia. :shrug:

EDIT: Ok I finally got around to submitting a ticket to XFX support this morning. Lets see what they say.

Ok, well sorry to double post but I thought this should be updated.

When i removed my card I noticed heat bluing on the rear mounting plate...bad news,right? ... Not so much...it wiped right off with a clean cloth. Today I sent it off to the doctor`s to see if it can be healed.

...aand once again...a progress update, with a conclusion that raises more questions. XFX has fully tested my card and found no problem...in a way, that`s good in that, I get back a tested, and fully functional card. One possibility eliminated....the cause, yet to be brought to light.

If anyone following this has any ideas, please post?

Hmmm, interesting, but why only on certain games? Also I`ve had driver updates with the same issue. My frame rates go between 40-60 ish. I`ve been told that it may also be monitor related, I need to switch back to my backup to check that. I still have an itch that temps might have to do with it too.
