Check to see if you have the latest drivers. Also check the temps and as to whether or not the heatsink is on properly. Do not pull off the heatsink, though, as that will void the warranty.

I have updated to the lastest drivers and it starts up like that so I don't think the temps are cause it to shut off. Also The Card is a pain to take apart I almost didn't get the thing back together.

In that case, what kind of cooling do you have? If it is air cooling, make sure your airflow is going in one direction and not conflicting with the card's heatsink. If it is water, I don't have much experience...

Could it not just be the card is faulty? But as every one else has said make sure your air flow is good and check your drivers
