i checked out that thread you linked me to and check to see if it was overheating by powering up gpu fan speeds to 100% and taking off the cover of my pc case. I managed to play over an hour of modern warfare 2 with no problems, usually my fan speeds are set on automatic, is there a reason why it doesn't increase fan speeds when it gets hot? Is it because of gpu is faulty?
okay, i ran furmark and speedfan at the same time to see if the fans would run faster, and it does. So what's causing it to overheat? Could it be because i didn't put the pc wires behind the motherboard?
Edit: i find that when i put my gpu fan speeds higher than 55% it will start to make a loud buzzing noise, like it's hitting a wire. I've taken a look at i think the fan is maybe hitting the plastic cover or something. the noise disappears when i touch the plastic part.
Edit: my pc crashed this time after half an hour even though i set the fan speed on max and took the pc cover off, so it must be the gpu itself, i'll rma soon.

i just noticed, but when my pc crashes, the gpu fans stop. Also is there a reason why i crash only on some games and not others? such as mass effect 2, and fallout 3?
► Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Also, do you have adequate power supply?
► Stress test the Video Memory

Report the system temps during games, after a reasonable time in gaming, using Speccy summery tab.
any special options to select when testing video card memory? Also is there a way to make speccy appear even when gaming so i don't have to alt tab all the time?
do i test the whole 2 gbs? and in the recommended solution? Also, it's passed the 1 gb tests, but it said some of the tests weren't supported. Also i've found out that the 5 short bios beeps mean process failure.
