7950 making computer freeze

[Waramp22]

I installed a 3rd 7950 TFIII on my mining rig the other day. It ran for a full day and now it is intermittently causing my PC to freeze. Its an MSI 7950 Twin Frozr III. I have noticed in cgminer that the frozen screen sometimes shows very low 5*C for temp or something outrageous like 342*C. Seems like its temp sensor is screwed and intermittently fluctuating is causing the computer to freeze up. Are there any tests i can do on the card? Is the sensor replaceable? Try another driver perhaps?

I have rotated the cards around and this card is the troublemaker.

Thanks

out of three cards one is faulty , which leads the freezing of screen, check the temps of three cards and the card who is having 300+ temp is faulty.

could be power supply, how many watts you got and is it bronze or gold rated?

I'm with the above poster.

What's your power supply rated for, and how many PCIE cables does it have? It could be a power problem.

If you're running really close, or using crappy molex to PCIE adapters, it may be you just don't have enough juice.

I'm running 2x 7950 powered by a Corsair CX 750 W (non-gold,non bronze), and it seems to do just fine, stable for weeks.

I used to run only one 7950 on a Corsair CX550, and occasionaly, it would freeze. I don't think that was a great power supply.
