I've searched all over for problems regarding this, but can't seem to find anything. Basically, it seems that my Winfast px6600GT TDH Extreme's fan slows to almost a halt, of course raising gpu temp quite a bit (I ran Half-Life 2 to see if the fan would kick in, thinking that the fan might auto-throttle, but it didn't, and the moment I saw some artifacts I exited and checked the temp of the card, which was around 76C, after which I immediately shut down). As I am writing this the fan continues to slow down, and I occasionally give it a quick flick with a finger to get it spinning again, but nothing seems to remedy.
The computer restarted twice a few seconds after booting to windows after I ran the HL2 test, and I have experienced a few other random reboots after playing Splinter Cell 2 (upon exiting the game). I'm afraid I have a defective card, but I just want to make sure it isn't something else in this brand new build. Btw, nothing is overclocked. Also all other fans are working well. I also suspect a low +12V, which Asus probe monitors at 11.776; other voltages seem ok (VCore at 1.6 - seems ok?).
Specs listed below:
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD FX-53
1gb crucial ram (2x512 dimms)
WD Raptor WD740GD via SATA
OCZ ModStream 520w psu
Sony DRU-710A
Shouldn't be too much hardware for a 520w to tackle, really thinking it's a defective video card...
