So the other day, I decide after a rousing session of oblivion (cut short by a crash 
) that it is COD2 time. After a quick romp there, I quit to join another server through xfire. The second the game starts, monitor goes black and it does its little sizzle like you just clicked it off. Computer promptly reboots itself about 5 seconds later, hangs again like this when windows loads, reboots and hangs at the lanparty screen. I press my mystical reboot button and it loads fine. After another epic COD2 session, I either start to go crazy or notice little black flickers and here and there, I go and check the temps which were apparently at about low 80's. After sitting in the fetal position and browsing the internet for about an hour, I turn down the heat in the room, as before I deemed that it was indeed too god damn cold (about 60 f, it was up to around 80-85 when I turned it down finally) Thats a pretty good temperature difference, but could it have really pissed something off that badly? I later that night, beasted some oblivion and temps were at a happy 70 range.
So what in the fuck happened exactly? Everything seems dandy right now, but the whole picture going kaput is a bit unsettling. Is it possible that anything horrific could have happened to the card, ie damage? It seems to be perfectly fine now though.
