Hi all, still can't figure what's going on here, as computer is still stuttering and locking up. Have sent for some new memory, arctic silver, and arctic clean, and am going to go over the lot, and maybe put my Phenom back in to try it. This is getting silly now........will be running it at low detail soon. Have updated patch, drivers latest, Windows fix and all sorts and this bl**dy card still crashes with errors, and stutters with any action on screen, apart from PC only and background.

What is really annoying though is sig2 can run the game flawlessly as far as framerates and playability...and it is well below sig1 (in theory anyway). On one of the rare crashes where I actually got back to the desktop, without a reboot, CPU was at 100%....surely this can't be right? Heat isn't helping though as had CPU alarm going the other day, and it is set to go off at 80C, GPU was over 65C, but it had already crashed a few times long before it got there. Think I'll be going back to Nvidia very shortly.....

Well, I'd do these :

Check for dust, check all fans are operating correctly, spray compressed air on/through fans, replace the stock GPU cooler with a dual slot one.
