It can't be a heat problem as it's 47 degrees when idle. What could be the problem?

Replies Viddian Posted at 2:28 am on Nov. 3, 2008 Haha, well at least you figured out the problem. vulcan Posted at 2:27 am on Nov. 3, 2008 Hmm my driver is out of date...I'm a noob....

Also, have you checked any forums/sites seeing if people have had the same problem? It might be your actual computer causing it to happen? All cables are connected securely. I tried searching but found nothing. It was working perfectly before the upgrade. My computer is compatible with the card, I made sure of that.
