every so often my card under-clock's it self to 405 MHz and i cannot overclock it to even default clocks so i have to restart my computer to get it overclocked again. the video card is the gigabyte 460 1 gb oc edition

The only time I've seen clock issues like that, they were heat related. Is it getting too warm?
I've got 3x GTX 470's and they do drop speeds normally when not in use, right now they're sat @ 50Mhz for the GPU, Mem' @ 67Mhz and Shader @ 101Mhz, though 405Mhz on the GPU is another 'setting' they sit at during low use and then right up to top Mhz's when playing games.
If you have NVIDIA system tools : http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_...ools_6.06.html : and install the Performance Group part of that install you can manually set them up to not change and/OR use nvProfile.exe to manually switch between profiles, i.e. Auto for day to day use and custom spec' when you want to run them overclocked for games, etc.
HTH
PS. - I use Aida64, the newer version of Everest, to monitor things like GPU parameters real time, and you can watch the vales change depending on the load on the GPU's.
well it clocks down when am folding @ home
it's only at 65 Celsius at mostQuote:

depends on the item. my p2x4 @ 4ghz rarely goes above 55*c, my i7 on full load chills around 70 with the stock cooler, and my 560 runs around 60-70*C on a warm day. it all depends what the chip was designed for.
For many CPUs, it might be, but not for a GPU.Quote:

I had the same problem, my games went from 90+ fps to around 15... i was playing dirt 2 like a slideshow... rolled them back and all was well...Quote:
