    Should I be worried. Ati tool crashes when I run the fuzz cube and I oc. It literally crashes after 5 minutes and temps don't even go over 75c. I've run furmark for 30mins and went up to 85c with the same oc, np. I just need some reassurance that atitool is an old incompatible program that crashes and that my gpu isn't dying. :(

    edit: I also ran TF2 for an hour and a half with no problem max temp 75c I should be ok right?

    Usse Riva Tuner caus it is made for Nvidia and ATI tool is for ATI but ATI Tool has allway been a bit buggy as i know.

    Try and use Riva Tuner and see if the results and post them.

    The best way to test for artifact is playing games, thats the real test for me.

    Try also GPU Caps Viewer cause it has a FUR test that might be simular to ATI tool.

    tell us what driver are you using.
