    Hello!

    so after all the updates official ati drivers and ccc ive endabled CF and after first demo in 3dmark it just turned off.
    I didnt feel any extra heat going out of but when try to turn it on again it turned off again at windows startup, and after 10-15 min tryed again and it was fine to use it for internet and all the light stuff even old games in stealth mode .

    spec:
