I can not play games as a result of lastnights windows update. I am trying to update my grafix drivers and hope that it fixes it...

Hopefully you'll be able to fix it in time for a late night ownage session tonight.

I do not know, it could be that this gpu really is shot. I will try again tomorrow. In may I will try to switch to 64 bit and add another 3gb of ram and maybe somehow that will do something. If not I will be forced to get a 480...

Maybe your last resort is the oven trick.

a 480? If you want I guess, I just see no way of that being economical, its not much better then the 5870 and it costs so much more, uses more power, and makes more heat.

Yea power is a big consurn for my 1200w psu also heat is a big problem b/c my 4x 120mm gpu loop only rad might not be able to cool it....

Also the gpu is fine, I found the problem was the ram.
