cheers for the reply, tried this with another monitor and the same thing happened.
Have updated drivers for the graphics card from nvidia, also have updated the chipset

cooling, only the 1 case fan, the one on the video card and on the cpu heat-sink.
according to easytune, no load temps are 40 for system and 33 for cpu
