The problem persist only when using the sapphire GPU (the one that crashed before). With the Asus one, it works okay.
And no, I don't have any.
I can monitor the voltages but I have no knowledge in that, so what voltages should I see on CPU+GPUs?

I was JUST about to suggest what Dekar said. ;-)

Seems like MSI AfterBurner does monitor the voltage. I just don't know what to make of it...

Should I make my card take less voltage? And if so, by how much?

Don't bother using software tools, they're way too slow to capture voltage spikes anyway. I'd return the Sapphire card and be done with it. The fact that the Asus one works fine makes it unlikely for the PSU to be the issue.

I tried that, and they don't accept a return as the card is working and has been in use for several months. Which I gotta say, sounds legit.
And if I cannot use software to capture the voltages (as yea it is for micro seconds I guess), what should I use to check?

An oscilloscope. Also to me it doesn't sound like the Sapphire one is fine, did they test the same games you have had the problems with?

Do you think it is the specific games who make the problem? As it crashes on every game I play.
I can test it and use FurMark on it for 30 minutes, but I am sure it will crash none the less.
As for the oscilloscope... Ill see what I can do, but from what I can tell, not likely I will be able to get one soon.
I am curious how this works, is it a device I connect between my GPU and the PSU? is it to check the voltages my PSU gets from the socket itself?

You've put a lot of time and effort trying to get this fixed. If you would have put this much effort into coding a program that reverse engineers the *.jass to recover the GUI, we'd be laughing right now.

priorities ;)
I personally hate GUI so no point in me doing it (jass>gui imo regarding wc3)

Unfortunately I'm a GUI guy. If I would have learned Jass instead of replying to this topic, I'd be a Jass pro. :lol:

It would be quite interesting if it worked(jass>GUI)
