Just started having an issue with my graphics card. I haven't had any issues with this card whatsoever... until now. I was only on the internet using Google Chrome, so I wasn't putting it under load or anything, and the screen flashes black for a second, comes back and my taskbar and windows are set back to the default blue/grey color instead of black, and I start hearing a high pitched noise coming from my card. It would last about 5 or so seconds and then stop, then start again for another 5 seconds. It sounds like it's coming out of the back, directly where the DVI ports are, but that might be because of the holes for ventilation being there as well and giving the sound a clear path to travel. The fan was still running perfectly fine. I opened up HWmonitor and GPUz and checked on everything, and it had reverted to it's factory clock settings (820MHz core 1100MHz mem) and the temperature was climbing as if it was under load. It normally idles around 30-35C, and its temperature was at 55C and climbing. My overclock was done in CCC if that makes any difference.
All details are in my sig.
