Sounds like a video card problem to me.

sounds like a cooling issue, give everything a good clean through get rid of that dust! (if applicable)

Do you have any ramsinks on your vmem/vregs? If not, deffinitely run your gpu cooler as high as possible untill you do.

it might be but i can't tell what my cpu temp is cus asus makes crapy bios

No its the card. Turn the fan speed to 80%+ and it should fix it. The sensing thing that makes it go faster when it gets hotter is broke.

That they do.. The crappieness shows with typos and other errors... =( Good boards, bad BIOS... I'd say use another grapcis card to see if you get the same error. And if it WAS a heat issue, atleast with the CPU, the computer would just shut off (99% of the time atleast)

Or you could see if the fan is a 5V and if it is, wire it into the yellow and black molex cables. :) Nothin wrong with doin it the easy\crappy way.
