Try backing down your OC until it stops that error.

As the card works harder and is required to do more it overheats and becomes unstable. The reason it fails earlier while playing certain games is related to the intensity of the graphics and the amount of work it is doing. You should be aware that if you continue to over clock to the level you are you will probably be looking for a new card very soon.

yeah but its only at 50c when playing a game

The sort of stable overclock you are going to get with a 9600GT is going to be so little you aren't going to notice much difference. The highest stable clock I've seen was 750/1900/2000.

@ Shawn4455,

NormCameron is right on all accounts.

Certain games can handle higher OC cards then others. When I was OC'ing my ATI HD3870, FEAR would crash, while Half-Life 2 - EP2 would run fine at the same OC setting. And to be honest, I wound up RMAing that card as I probably pushed it a little to hard. Based on your problem, you will definitely be looking for a new video card if you continue pushing it...the card is already giving you warning signs. I'm all for overclocking...done in moderation. Your card, your money, so...

Well im just Ocing it very small just to make the games look a bit better but yeah thanks :D

and rivatuner is reading 650 1625 900

This is not a high performance card, and there is no way you can make into one. Overclocking reduces the life of the card. To get better performance on Games you need to lower the in-game settings, or screen resolution. Although you say your card runs at 50c this is normal. Under load it is going beyond 80c, which is why it freezes or crashes. At the very least you need to install a third party cooler, and you won't be able to clock more than about 10% over specs anyway. This is not sufficient improvement to warrant "bricking" your card.

You need to learn to live with it or upgrade your card.

oh.. well im happy with factory settings i was just trying to lol ill just keep it the same XD

 

[sygnus21]

I would suggest you visit one of the Nvidia forums to find out what your card can do, or at least its limitations. They could also tell you what the best OC solution is, if any.

Good luck

There's a girl who hangs around on the SLI forums who overclocks a lot, not serious overclocking. She overclocked two 9600GTs in SLI and they benched the same as two 8800 Ultras in SLI.

Though the majority of cards can't really be seriously overclocked without a few modifications.
