It looks like my ATI R9700pro is dying

It still works for 2D but as soon as the 3D warms up
it locks up, with or with out VPU Recover. At first I
thought it was FarCry but it's happening whenever I
use any 3D. If the card is "cold" it may last a few min
in 3D mode, but that time gets shorter and shorter each
subsequent attempt.

Maybe overclocking (just to R9800 speeds) has taken
its toll? Can't believe it is heat related, at least not the GPU
as that has a waterblock.

I sorta reminds me of when I was first trying to get one of
these boards to work in a A7N8X, when they both were
new. This A7N8X and R9700 Pro have been working great
together for some time now. It's even been some time sense
the last MB BIOS and video driver updates. Now; for no
apparent reason, it is dying in 3D apps.

Any ideas so I don't have to kick the kid off my system with
the R9800 pro? At least until I can figure whether to replace it
or find some way to limp along until the next cards are out.

Better Luck;
Ken
