ok, i have a radeon X1650
The stock heat sink has been replaced with a water block.
over the last 2 months my PC has been turning itself off... and I don't mean shutting down, i mean 'tripping' off randomly...
The only way i can power my PC back up again is to unplug the power supply and plug back in...
Here is the interesting bit...
It does not turn off when playing a game...
It also does not turn off when i have the ati tray tools open in the overclocking panel with the 3D renderer open...
At idle, my GPU temp acording to tray tools is 35 deg C... under full load it's 55 deg C (i don't have compound on my water block atm)
Water temp is between 10 and 15 deg C when it enters the GPU water block from the bay res...
So, the question is... why does it turn off randomly if my GPU temp is below 40 deg C, but not if it's in the BIOS?
Any help appreciated

I'm using radeon omega drivers
