| hey i sent back my graphics card because i thought it was faulty but they returned it saying it was fine, the symptoms were that the screen would freeze and when i booted nothing would show on the screen, could it be my motherboard, i noticed the southbridge got quite hot (around 80)

| 80 degrees is fairly hot but I'm not sure if this shouild crash the system. How are you determining the temperature of your southbridge chip? Are you using Nvidia's system monitor software? And what is the temperature reading on the CPU and northbridge chip?

| Do you have any other pci cards in place that might be causing the s/bridge to overheat?

| To be honest if s/bridge is faulty it will effect your gpu no matter what temp it is

try another gpu and see if you get same problem or it might be a faulty hard drive or even possibly the ram My System: redden137
