Display driver stopped responding then recovered?

Hi when i play games i get this error:

(stolen from divica was too lazy to upload a new)

my comp: fx 6100, sapphire hd 7950 vapor x, 8gb ddr3 ram, asrock 970 extreme 4 500w powersupply


When i play games and i set the GPU and CPU to like 80% power(at the AMD program) then everything is fine, but when i put it to 100% i get this error sometimes and then it closes the game.

what i have tried: updating drivers, deleting and installing again.

please help!

 

Download speedfan and see how hot it is running when you are playing the games.

 

when i started to play i get the error in 15secs if gpu and cpu power is at 100%

temperatuers:

 

couldnt the problem be the PSU? maybe not strong enough?

 

110c is too hot. Have you tried cleaning the case? Is there crap blocking any fans?

 

i dont think its real because its jumping from 40 to 120 c in 2 secs lol

 

If it's heating up that fast then there's probably something wrong... have you checked the fans?

 

That can certainly happen. Take your cpu cooler off while its running. See how fast your computer will shut itself down. Note: It will be pretty damn fast.

 

what do you mean?:O add my skype and help me there please my skype: adam.sythe

look out for imposters add every1, i dont think imposters would rly care about my comp lol

 

update! i just checked my comp, and it seems like the GPU's fan blows the hot air into the CPU'S fan, so it blows the hot air to the cpu, and it overheats. This might be the thing that causes my problems. Any idea how to fix it?

 

If everything is clean then you might just need more exhaust fans. It could also be that your graphics card is a bit old and the fan / heat exchange simply isn't working as well anymore.

 

comp is 3 weeks old so i dont think that would be the problem :S maybe i gotta rotate one of the fans so it doesnt blow hot air to the other?

 

Did you build it yourself or prebuilt?

 

i picked the parts, but the site where i ordered it from built it for me

 

I'd contact them then. It may be that your card is just not working right if its overheating. Have you tried reseating it?

 

i took out the card and send it to them to test it and they didnt find any problems

 

Well if it's under warranty, I'd send the whole thing back and make them replace it all.

 

i think ill do that. Btw maybe its because of CPU overheating/PSU isnt strong enough?

 

What PSU do you have? (Although I doubt its the issue). And what CPU / GPU?

 

cpu fx 6100
gp sapphire hd 7950 vapor
corsair cx500w
