Yes, the fan is running. I always check the fan.

Doesn't this video card come with an onboard fan? Have you tried running it
with the case open just to make sure that the fan *is* indeed working?
... if it *didn't*
come with its own fan and heat sink, then you were sold bogus goods,
IMVHO...
Your problem sounds more like a hardware glitch, rather than something
caused
by software (...short of a virus !).
