ok maybe i start o understand, and the thermal thing you are saying it seems it goes in the card before you put the zalman stuff, i understand now i see the flash animation the model you tell me is ZM80C-HP and in the webside i have is D not C so i guess its improved so i need that thing, the fan, and the thermal thing whats this us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/casecooler_1965_1916777and yea i was pretty sure before posting all this you were going to be the first and maybe the only in helping me

u get thermal paste with cooler so u don't need to buy it- i had few extra cpu thermal pastes so i experiment a little- but that's more playing then actually need it, as for VGA RAM heatsinks- that's an add-on, u don't need to have it but u can use it, it takes some extra heat of graphic card- u have more chips on graphic, by default only 'core chip' (someting like graphic cpu- similar to one u have on mainboard) is need to be cooled, but u have around it few other small chips which represent vga memory- same as ram on mainboard- and as u can buy cooler for ram on mainboard u can do it for graphic card also- but it's more luxes then obligation ;D Other then that- yea pic shows it all how to do it, and u will get tutorials also that will show u- just be careful not to lose them as i did, or u will have to watch pictures and chinese writing

QUESTION
can it be that it goes back screen because it over heats so it shhuts down, and if i get it not to do it it wont happend?
i just been able to play for liek 30 minutes on quakewars no problem, i haven't use any game for liek a day
so i would only have to but the cooling stuff, or is it already fucked up or half fucked up

u probably get on cds that come with graphic card also progy that monitors your card (how much degrees...) install it and u will see, if it starts to warn u then cooler is useless. In case if i don't have it there are also other ways but before i write a novel about it, tell me: u say ordinary screen works but tft has issues- is ordinary screen connected to vga and tft to dvi ? As if it is, u can try to get cable or converter and change switches and plug tft to vga just to retest that isn't dvi the one that makes troubles- or other way around- from vga to dvi EDIT: If monitors over heats there is nothing that u can do to prevent it again but found out what exactly is the thing that leads to overheating

my monitor does not overheat, and i dont use dvi
and it haves nothign to do with monitors since in both crt and tft happens the same
im just asking if can it be that when a card overheats instead of breaking itself it shuts down, therefore my card is not broken and i need only the cool system

im just asking if can it be that when a card overheats instead of breaking itself it shuts down, therefore my card is not broken and i need only the cool system Asuming you mean the graphic card.... yes that's exactly what it's doing and why I already had to change mine some time ago. I just had an idea as when I had a problem with overheating my father underclocked the computer a bit and for the first time it worked quite good, maybe you should try same. But tbh I don't know much about that stuff...

yea sry went to bed ;D but yes by general all stuff should stop working in case of errors so it prevents hardware malfunction- tho that's not always the case Under locking pc wont help.....so yes try with cooling stuff

if u have any other graphic card then put that in and replace cooler If it the does the same on other graphic card then problem my lay as Pingu mention in power supply EDIT: It's hard to pinpoint from 1200 km away If u would be closer i would take my magic box with spare parts and rush there to pwn pc ;D ok i open my black book where i have wrote down all things i encounter in past years when fixing stuff Didn't remember this one, but i actually encounter same problem few years ago. What i did was roll back drivers and then put different ones on it- try it! Make sure u have the right drivers for your windows- u may installed 64 bit....as your pc can be 64 bit, but u must install drivers that are compatible with your windows. U can recheck which os u have via right button on my computer (on desktop) and chose 'properties', if it says u have 64 bit windows then search drivers for 64, if it doesn't say nothing u have 32 so u look for normal windows- do not mistaken your cpu with your system- if it says etc "AMD 64 bit" that's your cpu and not your system! (my os is 32 bit) If u encounter more problems then just simply boot in safe mode and uninstall drivers down to basic and put drivers u get on original cd when u buy graphic card. Let me know what's the outcome

Have you overclocked the PC in some way or touched the voltage settings in BIOS?
My guess is that it's the motherboard that damages your gfx-card.

yea it's 32 bit. Download drivers for your card - some may have bugs or aren't compatible with some part of your system and that's why it crashes. Uninstall them completely and put the ones that work before or original ones u got with cd. Trying doesn't hurt
