Recently bought this card after my old GTX460 failed:
SAPPHIRE Ultimate Radeon HD 7750 1GB .
Cheap, silent, I hardly ever play games.
Works great, except: when I open several live streaming media windows at the same time.
I do that on Sundays when I watch American football, stream about 4 games at once live, each in a small window on my 26 inch monitor at1920x1200.
When I do this, I inevitably have a failure after a period of time. The screen goes dark. I have to power off manually, wait about 15 minutes, and restart.
I am assuming I am overheating, because if I don't wait long enough the display will not come on when I reboot. The weird thing is that in the AMD catalyst performance center, the temperature never shows over 40 degrees, even shortly before it fails.
Other than this circumstance, the system/GPU is quite stable, although I don't ask it to do too much.
Any thoughts? Is the temp info just way off, and would rigging up a GPU fan fix the problem? Is there something else besides overheating to explain this? Should I run some kind of software 'stress test' to see if it replicates the problem? Am I just asking too much from the card and need to upgrade?
