Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

Now I remember why I watercool!!  I have trouble pushing mine much over 40 degrees while running Furmark.

The only thing it reminded me of was graphics memory breaking down. I take it that you are using the latest firmware for the card and have installed the lasted drivers?

Do you have anything else in the PCIE slots?

[DarkRock]

My other 2 PCIE slots are empty..
BIOS String   Version 70.00.35.00.04
Driver Version   8.17.12.6658

[Dark Mantis]

I take it that they are both the latest versions. I don't know personally because I run Radeon cards as I find them more stable.

[DarkRock]

Time for service?

[Dark Mantis]

Yes I would have to agree. I can't think of anything else I'm afraid.

[DarkRock]

I understand and thank you very much for your support

I have the same videocard but with older bios,maybe you can try this bios and see if is stable in furmark(bios 70.00.21.00.03):

[DarkRock]

it is possible to install the older to the newer bios? Is this a good idea?

[Dark Mantis]

As long as you are certain it is for the same model card then it should be fine. It is quite common to do it on motherboards.
