Played last night on "Very high" after cleaning all the crap out from the fan for the CPU and surrounding area. Not one shut down

Lol was cleaning the dust off the CPU fan as you were writting that :)

Ok, so I took the fan off the CPU with the metal box that sits in between the fan and the CPU (forgot it's name) and there was a crap load of dust, I cleaned it out, went on the servers and played on "High" settings for 45mins without any power offs. Will play a longer session tonight in a hour or so. Thanks for all your help thus far!

An update, HWMonitor is showing all the stats but it is not reading the CPU temperatures Also tried AMD Overdrive just to check the status, has some specs on the CPU but not temps Ok I did find one section of the AMD Overdrive that does show it, just want to make sure its going to log it and then I can test it tonight.

I dont play much games, But i have ran Assasins Creed and Diablo 3 on high settings, I have the program to monitor my temps so I will update this when i try the game tonight, I will also try the BIOS to check temp if i can get to it quickly

Downloaded the HWMonitor to try to log some information, the Motherboard is a: http://ca.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2Plus/M4A785M/

Downloaded a beta firmware upgrade, and also downloaded the software to change fan speeds. I upped it to run at 70% consistently, i was good for about a hour? Then it shut down Here's a report from the problem: Source Windows Summary Video hardware error Date ‎7/‎18/‎2012 8:34 PM Status Not reported Description A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly.

It's an aftermarkey PSU, 500W i think? I remember looking it up and know its good for the video card, researched that and talked to a guy to make sure it was ok and it was.

GPU temps are around mid 60s in game and fan speeds 45-40% highest temp I can see is 66c

My computer will shut down after 5mins to 5 hours of game play. Random time intervals, I think it is caused by my video card, I will provide some information here please let me know if there's anything else you would like.
