dominator, i wanted to know the bootup temperature for the same.. if the cold bootup temperatures are even somewhat ccloser to the idle temps you get on that card then we can assume proper contact..
generally heat builds up in 10-15mins if the contact is good but airflow is not.
since his card is new, we can rule out dust issues.
but hot concentrated heat zones inside cabby can do the similar damage....

sorry for thread hijacking...but I think by sharing my problem we can analyze this even more:
My config:
E7300
Gigabyte p32 d3sl
powercolor 4850
collermaster cm690 with 6 fans (2 top, 1 back, 1 side, i front and 1 bottom)
tagan 600 watts
asus xonar dx
lately (last 2-3 weeks) my card has started to overheat a lot...shuts down after gaming for 20 mins
(on games like SF4 and COD MW2)...it used to never happen before and I used to play for 5-6 hrs non stop with the same config...
I have just upgraded to windows 7 now but while I was in Xp i could see the PC shutting down once
Load temp goes to 110 deg after which it shuts down and when I restart the temp hovers around 91-98 degrees:S
Update: its been 25 mins after the shutdown but i can see in everest that the GPu temp is still 95degrees

everest is most probably showing you old temperature at bootup.
update everest..
try gpu-z and report temperatures..
still same temperatures..!!?? then take the card out after keeping PC off for an hour..( so that card cools down )
open the cooler and clean all the dust.. (do not open the cooler while card is warm.. the thermal tapes will break and you will be trouble to hunt for them...
meanwhile.. if your card is reference HD4850 then take a look at this...
that is also a reference HD4850... idles around 30c
hyeah: never ever crosses 60c under any circumstances even at 700/1050 :hap5:
those are 2x 120mm sunbeam 90cfm fan (those which are bundled with sccf)

@OP:
Could you provide some data and/or screen shots. Not that we doubt you...it would help us see the gravity of the situation, and how critical it is. If you could...
1. Post a screen shot of the system innards. So we can see the over all inside arrangement, and the cable management.
2. Start RivaTuner/or GPU-Z so the temperatures are being monitored, and run a game or furmark. Post that screen shot.
3. Run a RealTEMP test with Prime95 on (2 worker threads), and post the screen shot you get in the end.
4. Update your signature with your specifications. See any members post for an example.

Re: Intel DG31PR and hd 4870 combo
Mate,
Just ignore his comment ! what's so Good about a Intel DG31 Mobo with 2GB Ram ? which is quite basic & What's bad about an 4870 512.
May be he meant why you bought a powerfull card like 4870 512 card, when you could have done away with the onboard video of Intel DG31.
That offcousre you use ur system for basic tasks other then gaming.

Re: Intel DG31PR and hd 4870 combo
most of these " Sys Admins " ( aka experts) fail tounderstand the concept of adding a gfx card for performance improvement.
For them, onboard gfx is sufficient, coz they hardly see a PC used for mid/high end gaming.

Hello!! Remember what I said here?

And I quote:
Advice is as good as the person using it. Again- can't change it? Your system, your money, your risk, your wish
. Hopefully other components are stable enough to be used. Again, I would recommend to change to a better psu. After that, stress test the system to make sure your old psu didn't damage the system.

dude, I was given the same "advice" when I had bought my card. That guy was insistent that these graphics cards are a waste of money and just by adding RAM you could magically solve all your problems. Obviously, I politely told him ok and never bothered to call back again
also, you should SERIOUSLY pay heed to what Sorcerer is trying to tell you. Change that PSU. If u search, u will find examples of CME600W psu's exploding when loaded and taking other components with them.
