Hi Sgravina,

I saw your previous card was a sapphire 5870 - exactly the same card I had.

Did you have any problems with it ?

I am running almost 2 months and keeps freezing and hanging my system (win 7 64bit, corei3-2100,gigabyte P67A-UD3-B3 MB, no OC on GPU or CPU).

The GPU heats up quite a lot and i think it causes the mobo to freeze up the system.

I saw you are using an expensive asus mobo (ASUS P8P67 Pro), did you ever try using different mobos with the card ? maybe gigabyte ?

do you think my hunch is correct and the problem is that i am using mobos that are too sensitive to heat over time ?

This is the second gigabyte mobo i tried an both caused me system hangs every 24-72 hours.
