it's been acting up a couple of times over the past weeks, but nowhere near as bad as this.

have you tried blowing on the cartridge?

actually yeah, try taking the card out and cleaning the contacts where it goes into the motherboard

 

can't hurt

the temp is around 42c while idle, 60c~ while working (gaming etc), so that's not the problem.

 

what's weird though is that in the monitoring program thing the "activity" is constantly at 99%, even when im not doing anything.

 

ffuuck it, might aswell get a new card, i really can't be bothered with shit like this, just work damnit.

Yeah dude, looks like it's either overheating or something is glitched out. Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers? Doubt it will fix, but it's easier than replacing the card. How old is it? Maybe clean out the heatsink/fan and try again, just one part of it could be blocked, causing that part to overheat?

i opened up and vacuumed my computer just the other day and everything looked fine, and according to my ati monitoring program it's not overheating, and i did reinstall the drivers recently.

 

weird innit!

Have you tried doing something nice for it for a change? Maybe take it to dinner, let it talk about its own feelings for once? You bastard?
