    Hi guys!
    So recently, I've been getting numerous crash and error reports while playing Battlefield 3 on my DV6T Quad Edition. I have a 6770m with leshcat's 12.2 UNIFL drivers, and I wanted to know if there is a simple gpu monitoring, or even temperature monitoring program out there that can tell me if my card is running too hot. I'm pretty sure the overheating is the culprit, but I wanna see what the max temps are while I play. Thanks in advance.

    I've used Everest on my systems in the past, but it is more "bulky", can give you more info than just your GPU.

    You can try GPU-Z or HWiNFO32/64?
