Yeah, I knew when I purchased it that there were some issues with the drivers in w7 x64. (i got the card in a new pc i got, not separate). The issues were with fan speed as far as I knew, so after searching the issue for a while, I used an older driver so my pc didnt crash. I am waiting until I hear they fixed their issue before I upgrade the drivers again. I don't have the money to spend on another card at the moment

anyway. my solution for this problem is to keep the mouse in the middle of the screen after I click q3 (thnx kiku ).. and i shake the mouse vigorously. for some reason it prevents the problem from happening
