My 8510p locks up when playing! Artifacts as well.

Update the 8510p bios? I know that fixed lock-ups for a lot of people :\

I have the latest bios & the latest drivers from ati (not from HP, tried those and the game was really slow). Have tried re-installing TF2, but didn't change anything. I'm gonna do another reading on the temperature when I play later today, cause might have read of the wrong value. Will post it here afterwards!

Just played for around an hour, no lock ups but there was a moment where everything freezed. for the first time it didn't lock up tough.

Anyways, GPU temperatures around 60 C aren't that bad I guess.

The CPU get up to about 85 C, is this to much?

The CPU shouldn't be 85c. I'm thinking maybe you have them reversed, and the GPU is running at 85c and the CPU at 60c?

Those are roughly the temps I get when playing TF2 (GPU 80c, CPU 61c).

x2. make sur u are reading the right ones

Well, used HWMonitor, and it says the GPU is 65 and CPU is 85, but maybe the HWMonitor just doesn't identify correctly

Could try Everest Ultimate edition or Speedfan 4.34 beta (earlier versions don't read core2duo temperatures correctly)
