It won't be overclocked at the moment, but underclocking it is a good
way of sorting out what is wrong. It seems like a heat issue that
arises from overclocking, but it may be from poor cooling, poor
airflow or a hardware problem.
The best program to use for over/underclocking ANY video card is
powerstrip, from www.entechtaiwan.com Just click on default and it
will set it to the defaults. Then set it lower or higher depending on
what you want.
