GPU Overheating while gaming?
I was in the middle of playing Need for speed most wanted... like hardcore for an hour or more, and it all of a sudden with no warning crashed to the desktop. So I immediately opened up Everest and looked at my temps.. the GPU was at 56-57 celcius (135 F). Do you think thats why it crashed? I havent messed with this computer in soo long... but I think I have one of those Arctic Cooler things on my x800pro with that silver thermal compound (Dont remember what its called) so why would it be overheating? Anything I can do? Thanks

Could there just be a bunch of dust in there blocking that GPU cooler fan?
Go download 3DMark and a program called rthdribl. Put them both into windowed mode and loop them for a few hours.
I guess I should try to open this rig up during the Christmas break and give it a good cleaning.
