Make sure the top of the card has a reasonable temperature. The temperature probe is placed wrong spot and cannot be trusted. Your card could just be getting fried when Linux probes it's hardware.
I made a homemade cooler for mine, with a leftover PCI bracket, Lucite or perf-board and a fan. Mine has been running OK every since.

Well this might be an answer to some question but not to mine!! Please stay on topic and use some other forum or site to push / advertise for your site. I don't think it is really that hard to stay on topic here without spamming every other post as advert.
Now my question still is has anyone detected the above problem in Kubuntu and if so did you resolve it and how? It's very strange to find 2 graphics cards in the settings while only 1 is there. This could also be the issue why my 3d accelarator is sometime slow.
