    Ive got a ATi Radeon X1800 XT 512mb card in my rig thats happily been chugging along giving me great performance when gaming for about 8 months.
    The temps on it have stayed nice and low according to the dial in the catalyst control panel even at high load. I recently updated to the latest drivers and now my temps rocket on high demand games sometimes leading to a abrupt computer shutdown!:eek: The card is free of dust as is the case and all fans are working perfectly Is there anyone else who has experienced this alarming change when updating to 6.9?
