Default BFG GTX 260 Overheating problem

Hey guys. sometimes when i have full screen applications open like games or even google earth my computer will shut down randomly. I downloaded rivatuner to check the temps and it was running fairly hot. So, i got rid of some dust in the case which solved the problem. didnt have any problems after that.

Now, as im looking at rivatuners temperature bar in the corner not running anything in the backround, just typing this post, the temps are bouncing around alot! one second its 79, the next 114, the next 95. its just crazy. i havent even had this card a year and never overclocked it. any suggestions to stopping the temps from bouncing so high? or maybe a different temperature program? i dont know. Thanks.

you could try EVGA Precision, RealTemp, AtiTool, Speedfan, FurMark...all those have temp readouts as well as other features...if it jumps around like that as well, call up BFG and see if you should RMA it
