What causes this to crash?


Came home from work to see my one computer had restarted and this is the only error I see.

I recently replaced the TIM on my 8800 Ultra and temps are the same.

I think it is the driver that allows RivaTuner to unlink shaders and core clock. Qualifier: This is not something I'm certain of.

hmmm. Ok.

Temps at max were about 76*c
I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled so we will see.

EDIT: Looking at riva tuner it looks like I had the Shader Clocks too high. 1900mhz... and the GPU core 550mhz
Ran Furmark v1.8 for a while in XtremeBurning and no problems.
