So I got my rig game stable at whats in my sig today and went off skating for 5 hours, got back, started surfing the internet for like 10 minuts, and I lose video and audio. Restart and it shuts down. Than I got water all over checking for condensation on the GPU TEC. Didnt see any so I cleaned my spill up, pluged the card back in, reset CMOS, and now I'm running fine. What would cause that to randomly happen after running for 10 hours 100% stable?

Nice clocks on your 9600XT...Though your memory clocks seem a little low on WC ??

Meh there alright. I need to Vgpu mod. Mem isint that bad. I have ram sinks on there but that did nothing. 730 DDR. My card has crappy ram.

No offence, but its a good thing you didnt start naming roler, ice or skateboarding locations to confirm exactly where he was LOL

Black PCB yeah.
Rollerblading. All other forms of "skating" are inferior
My computer was fine till I got home and started using it... Its still fine now. No clue wtf happened earlier.

well, if he was rollerblading, I'm guessing it was a loose tube on the gpu/tec block. If it was skateboarding, it was a leak from the res. and if it was ice skating then it's a condesation problem. If it was rollerskating then most likely a small tear in your tubing. If I were you, I would stop rollerblading and just SURF for now on.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so the tube magicly came off the waterblock but I cant see water anywhere? AWESOME!

we'll unless you spilled beer all over it while you were surfing, and you saw no condensation from the tec, then I'm pretty certain one of your fittings is loose from rollerblading. Did you smell the liquid? did it smell like malted hops? Do you own any pets? There must be some explaination?

skatboarding > rollerblading
edit: i actually used to figure skate,
can you see the light? is it shining too bright? can you see the light at the end of the tunnel, i know i do, i know its true.
I froze up a few times this morning so I took it off and found some water. Lucky I still have the stock heatsink so I'm running that untill I can get a neoprene kit from dangerden. Using armaflex tape stuff and some of the neoprene from my 9500pro wasent a good idea :P I wanted to get a stock AMD sink on there but theres a bunch of crap in the way and the base is to thick to dremel

Yep, I was thinking condenation/water damage as well.
You could remove the shim from your card, rather than using the dremel on the heatsink... although doing that is a pain as well.
More information that we need.i actually used to figure skate,
You should be doing a LOT better on air with some good ambient temps, have you tested how much more your scores/clocks are without WC ??Yep, I was thinking condenation/water damage as well.

572 on stock air. Ambiant around 16C. The card is begging for volts which I hope to give it soon

they dont have shims
also think it was condensation wich caused instability...
idle= cooler temps=condensation built up, when you cam back and wanted to use it it probably gave you a short circuit somehwere and the rig crashed.
make sure the insulation is ok
and perkam ... *sigh*
EVERYBODY knows that rollerblading is more likely to cause condensation on your skin than any other form of skating
enzor pwns you! lol...
Holst, I tried removing the shim on my 9700pro.. lets just say there was not much card left after i was done... All that was left thwas the unremovalbe titanium/kryptonite alloy shim!!!
lol i almost killed my card trying to pop off the shim as well! theres a bit of the gou missing!!! card still runs perfectly fine though as a big surprise to me
been that way for 6 months now i think... card is still fine... weird eh?
