Videacard problem
After 3 month of using Dell Aurora desktop with ATI radeon 5800 vieocard i saw a grey screen with vertical lines. Every time i run 3d games i see this screen again. Looks like GPU overheat. I've found a temporary solution with ATI overdrive utility i reduced the gpu and memory clock and force gpu fan to miximum speed. It help but noise from fan is loud and in some cases games still crashe. Is this problem common to aurora desktops with ati cards and how it is possible to solve it?

LEONIDLUKASHIN,
Before spending any money, have Dell replace the video card under warranty and see if the replacement fixes the issues.

No it is not so much a problem with the computer but more with the video card. The 58xx cards all seem to suffer from the same problem that you are seeing. IF you Google it you will see that there are a lot of others with the same issue.The only "solve" seems to be replacing the card.
I ordered a 5870 for my rig but it suffered the same issue so I RMA'd it and bought a Nvidia GTX470 and have been humming along just fine.
