When running at higher speeds processors and graphics cards generate more heat, and are more liable to make mistakes.
If you haven't fixed the 8800GTs default fan speed, I would download rivatuner and see if that helps.
[QUOTE="meggido"]After googling it, it seems it's a problem with master/slave settings. Try setting the dvd drive to slave and the hard drive to master.manic111
I currently have my HDD as primary master, my DVD drive as secondary master and my CDRW drive as secondary slave. How do I change these? I found the information in the BIOS, but couldnt work out how to swap them around. Or do I need to do it by hand?
IDE devices have jumpers which according to placement choose master, slave, or cable select. I would unplug the dvd drive you are not using and make sure that the hard drive is master and your other cd/dvd drive is slave. There should be a little diagram on the top of the drive, and tweezers help.
It's a very good card for it's price, especially if you can get it for $250. :)
If you are only gaming at 1280x1024 I would consider getting the 256mb version though.
Metronome was cancelled. :(

Last one is if you're looking for good deals on anything. :)
