What version of everest/tool are you using to measure the VRM temp? Is it possible you're getting bad readings?

I have the same issue with Furmark also, however, in my experience it has been partially related to PCIe bus speed. If I run Furmark 1.4 @ 102 (stock mobo settings) I hang between 50-70% @ 1280x1024 (All test done at 4X AA). If I bump it up to 105, i can complete Furmark @ 1280x1024, but hangs at about 50-70% @ 1920x1200(on occassion loses video completely). Based on above it sounds like the VRM is getting out of control, losing power with the psu, causing the video to no longer display.

Must check this VRM value when I get home, thx for the info guys!

I am using the latest GPU-Z for PWM temps and checking the card for hotspots with my finger. Nothing is anywhere near 70C because it would burn me if it was. I have sinks on everything that is hot and 120mm fans pointed at the card. Furmark crashes almost instantly for me.
