73 degrees is normal.
What I meant was have you tried other software, like phoenix or diablo miner. There is a possibility that video card is faulty, but I think other causes are more likely. I wouldn't send it to manufacturer, because if you are wrong, you'll waste a lot of time and just lose money for postage. If I were you, I'd find another computer to try that video card on. I, for exampl,. have a motherboard which refuses to operate if gpu gets above 80 degrees.
What OS are you running? If it's windows, try LinuxCoin distribution. It's very easy to start mining

73 degrees. I havnt tried it on other machines, it is the only one I have with a PCIE slot. I am thinking the video card may have burnt out, only being a week old....but I have the warranty so I can just exchange it at microcenter.
Have you tried other miners?
What are the GPU temps when your miners are running?
What are the GPU temps when your miners are running?
please help! my mining has crawled to a standstill because I cannot get the miner to run pclbm without exiting into power save mode. this sucks, I may just quit and sell my rigs.
Hey guys,
I have been running my miner for a week straight with no problems, suddenly out of nowhere I noticed my miner going into a "power save" mode randomly for no reason. When I click on the pclbm.exe file the fan on my 6970 jumps and then it goes into this power save mode and my monitor goes asleep. I can get it to wake up out of this mode then either. I have check all my power options and I turned off any sleep modes based on idle time and I cant figure out why this happens. Any advice would be great!!
