Question : Problem: GPU fan setting reverting back to default

i have a problem with gpu fan settings reverting back to default in nvidia control panel.

i play Lord of the Rings online and since their latest update ive been crashing alot.

The screen freezes and graphics appeared distorted. it requires a hard reboot to right the system. After some troubleshooting i discovered that if i increase my gpu fan setting to 66% in the nvidia control panel, the temperature of the gfx card drops to 78c and the game is stable until ive finished playing.

However this override keeps reverting back to 59% which increases temperature to around 85c which then continually crashes the game. i know my gfx card should be ok running at that temp, but it seems LOTRO objects for whatever reason, if the settting is changed as i have described it runs fine.

so how can i stop the setting reverting in nvidia control panel? it seems to do this randomly. i have tried using older drivers, up to date ones and beta. same problem.


card : 8800gtx
os: xp

Also, ATITool works on most(?) newer nvidia cards.
