Just fixed one problem and another started...
The GPU is overheating. I run crossfire and it causes the computer to crash anywhere from when one of the cards gets to be 75 or 90 degrees celsius. I know 90 is hot, but it crashes at 75 too and sometimes it locks up the screen and the picture loses all color and turns purple. This is during an online game, doesn't matter what one, any newer one (i.e. Dead Island/BF3). I've opened up the case, turned the fan higher... I'm at a loss. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! One card is always approx. 10 degrees cooler than GPU #2.
