Not the newest card out there anymore, but still does everything I ask it to.

I was having issues of my machine freezing up after extended periods of 3D activity.  I initially thought it was an issue with my sound card, because when it froze, it got stuck in an audio loop, but I have since realized that it was my video card overheating.  Fortunately, there is a great little program out there called “ATITool” (not to be confused with another outstanding program called ATI Tray Tools.)  ATITool allows me to override the fan controls on my card, and when set to 100%, I haven’t had a crash yet.

Refer to this post and this post.

It still crashes, just a few lines later and still leaves me with a command prompt. Oh well; it was worth a try. Any batch file gurus out there willing to take a look? I would add a line to try to kill the window after it finishes, but the problem I see is that if it is crashing now to a cmd prompt rather than firing itself back up, it isn’t reading any further into the batch file anyway, but I suppose it is worth a shot.

TIA,

Orb

Edit: What I did now is paste the line calling the perl into my batch file. It will no longer be running at a higher priority, but just maybe this will solve the problem…
