    Hey guyz

    Quick question issue been having for Past few days.. Running windows 8 products 64bit on my R3 with 580m latest drivers etc..

    Some times watching a YouTube video or playing CSS screen will go black fan go to full sometimes resets sometimes goes back to windows.. Not all the time it does this but starting to bother me now.. Is this throttling? Temps are around 65 degrees...

    Any ideas?

    Do you have an OC on the card? My old laptop with OC does this when gaming sometimes.

    Use HWinfo 64 to log the temps to a file and you should see at what temp it does the black screen.
