Hi, I recently bought an EVGA 7800GS CO and I'm having a few problems. See original thread

I am now experiencing monitor/graphic card shut downs. I'm playing Oblivion and after a couple of hours the screen goes black and I get the message "no signal input" like someone has removed the monitor cable. The computer is still running and I have checked the temps on the CPU via an Asus motherboard monitor. This allows me to record the temps while I carry on playing and the temp of the CPU never goes above 60C. When the monitor goes black I turn off the computer count to 20 and turn it back on and as soon as boots (approx 30 secs) I check the GPU temp via the driver monitor (rightclick desktop/properties etc) and that's at 43-44C. Can the GPU cool down from 115C (the threshold) down to 43-44C that I'm seeing? Apart from overheating I don't know what else it could be. Has anyone else got any ideas? I have contacted the people I bought it off but no response as yet (but it is the weekend). The other thing I wanted to ask is, does anybody know of a GPU monitor that I can record the temps while I'm playing then atleast I'll be able to see what is happening. I've Googled it but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thx
