Well i can run games in XP for hours and hours no cooling problem at all.

But 0% windows7 instalation going to 1% then i get No signal input.
Heats up durning installation? dont really think so. maybe the dvd drive because the cd is in there..
If install XP no problems at all.

do you, by any chance, have gfx chip on motherboard?

I use Asus M4A78 PRO
chip set AMD 780G

after searching on web if found out that it has built in ATI Radeon HD 3200.
you can check in bios if igp is disabled and/or pci-e card is set to primary.

i have ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO with built in HD 4200 and before inserting 5770 into slot i changed in bios corresponding settting to GFX0-GPP-IGFX-PCI

GFX0 - gfx card in pcie-x16-slot
GPP - gfx card in pcie-x1-slot
IGFX - integrated chip (3200 in your case)
PCI - gfx card in pci-slot

hope this helps!

or maybe it needs more wattage because PSU is too weak

I highly doubt that a 650W PSU is inadequate. Even so, I have considered the fact that the card may be lowering the voltage too far at idle (which could show the same symptoms as not having a strong enough PSU), and tried increasing the voltage. Didn't help though.

Hi PhaseShift, to me it sound like a classic heat problem. I am sure you already have tested your card for heat, but if not it might be worth doing.

I used FunMark to test mine. My card did go from normally around 30 to 70 degrees under max load.

Actually, I did exactly what you did, with almost exactly the same result. Is 70° C too high? Could that be why? I wonder, then, if I should try underclocking the card even further than I did before, and maybe setting the fan speed higher... I have noticed sometimes after crashing that my card temps were even as high as 74° C.

It would be really interesting if this was just a heat issue. I'm at work now, but I'll try it when I get home. At this point, anything is worth a shot, cause I'm running out of solutions (other than to get an Nvidia card).

Thanks for ya time.
I am not sure where i can see my onboard videocard..
In bios i can see PCI express config, in there it says
GFX dual slot config is on [AUTO]

If i go to advanged chipset setting i see Northbridge and RS780 config. If i go to RS780 i see
Internal grapich mode is on [UMA]

This is the same as you GFX0-GPP-IGFX-PCI
I dont see any Ati Radeon HD 3200 in bios to disable

Under advanced do you see "Onboard Devices Configuration"? If so, you go to "Primary Display Adapter" and set it to PCIe.

If i go to Onboard Devices Configuration i see this.
HD audio device [enabled]
Front Panel Select [HD]

Onboard lan [enabled]
Onboard lan boot rom [disabled]
Serial port address [3F8/IRQ4]

So i dont see any Primary Display Adapter
That empty space in there, is that normal?

I don't actually have this board, so I can't say if that's normal or not. Have you tried going to the Asus site, searching for your motherboard, and then looking at the documentation?
