Okay, I have had my 7800GS for about 5 or 6 months now, and had no problems with it. Now in about the past month I've been having a problem. If I run any games on higher graphic settings, during gameplay, usually about 1 minute into gameplay, my computer will make a "click" sound and about 5 seconds after I hear that sound my hole computer completely locks up. If I play that same game at lower graphic settings I can play it forever and nothing bad happens, but once the settings are raised, it happens.
I'm not sure at all what the problem is. I've googled everything and all that I have come up with is that clicking sounds leading to computer lock ups means my HDD is failing. I'm almost positive thats not the problem. I am pretty sure it's something with my video card. I've got the latest drivers and have tried many other ones, it still happens.
If anyone can help, thanks.
