I’ve been playing COD4 on this new rig for a while now with no problems. All of a sudden, today, I get booted out of the middle of a game with the horrid iw3mp.exe error. I know this is a common error on fresh installs and it is driver related… but I haven’t updated a driver in forever… and I haven’t modified my COD4 install since day 1. Why all of a sudden would it pop up and kick me out of games? This fucking sucks. It happened on my P4 machine when the game first came out… but I got through it… I did, if I recall correctly, install EVGA Precision since my last COD4 match… where I was hitting GPU temps above 100\* without the fan coming on. Should I uninstall Precision and see what happens? I don’t want to cook this card anytime soon. ---

OK, so I uninstalled Precision… now I can play. BUT my card gets over 100\* in about 20-30 minutes. You can hear what sounds like the fan trying to run… but it just cycles between nothing and about 10%… which keeps it at about 100\*/105\*C… The card doesn’t seem to function properly without precision installed. ---

dude, that card is gonna be toast…I had a 8600 running at 90+C, I wound up shipping it back to XFX dead. Your GPU cooler bite the dust? ---

This is what I did now… Install precision, crank to 100% and jam. No error. No idea why. EVGA says those cards can run @ 105\* before physical harm is done. I thought that was crazy. PWNing noobs @ 75\* now… after 3 hours. ---

295… Speaking of toast… I think I’m going to put some bread between the GPUs and make some. I guess I didn’t answer your previous question properly though… yes the fan works, but doesn’t seem to do anything without precision installed. ---
