    What do I need to see with this program, I run a test and turned it off when it showed me a warning that it reached 60C on the GPU (it need to show the warning on 100C but I changed it to 60C) it reached to 1300 frames when the warning appeared (tested with 1600x900full screen no AA) I did a screenshot but I don't know here did it save it
    60C is not a problem for a GPU.

    You need to run this test for a period of time, say 30 minutes. It is an artifacts test. It will run your GPU through it's paces and report if there are any problems. It's not 100% conclusive proof, but it's a real good start.

    It if reports errors, then you may have a faulty card.

    To attach an image click the paper click icon on the tool bar, next to the smiley face above this text.
    Yea I know, I said that I don't know where program saved the screenshots.

    Last question before the testing, which specifically test I need to run? (there is benchmark 720/1080 test, Burn In Test, GPU-Z and GPU Shark) + i'm using 1.9.1v of the program (up to date), but 1.8.5v has more options, which one to use?

    GPU-Z and GPU Shark are just monitoring and information tools.

    You want to run the burn in. Let it run for about 30 mins. See if your PC rashes or freezes.

    If you card is faulty you should see unuisual behaviour like artifacts (Tearing, missing sections of graphics on the screen, flashing lines etc).

    Did you try updating your drivers and replacing the cable? Did you try and reseat the graphics card? You should do these before running furmark tests.

    good luck

    Edit: Just start with the standard burn in test, not the xtreme burn in

    The driver is up to date, I don't have another cable, reset or reseat? because I don't know how to reseat it, same to reset

    Edit : did the test, it flashed 2 flashes every 1-2 min, didn't lag or anything ( Test was on 1600x900 resolution no AA)

    Reseating the card means to open your computers case, remove the card and replace it pushing it firmly at both ends to ensure it is snugly fitted into the PCIe slot. I would do the same for the cable at both ends (PC and monitor).

    Furmark typically displays a static background with a slowly moving image overlay. It should not "flash".

    What power supply are you using?

    This is starting to sound more and more like a faulty card. Do you know someone you can borrow an ATI card from? Or your local computer store that can put another card in and test it?
