Graphics Card - Critical Condition.

by th3_d0n » Tue Jan 17, 2006 12:26 am

Hey guys. My graphics card is in a cricital condition (as you may have guessed :lol:

).

Take a look:

That was whilst gaming, even when listening to music and using MSN it's around 80.

I've been told the most likely case is that the heatsink on the GPU fan is not fitted properly?

What do you guys recon?

It's all those hours on BF2 lol, sorry not helping here am i.
One thing i can think of is where your pc is sat, under your desk if i remeber correclty. Theres not loads of room for like heat to escape.
Also if you will, take a look at this link

No it's not under my desk anymore. And even if it was, it wouldn't cause it to go up to 100 - 120.

It's still under warrenty, so I think i'll send off for a replacement. I think I might need a better power supply, because mine is 450 watts, not sure if that is enough power.

Lol your pc has been sent back loads of times!
But yea, it might be a good idea to get it done sooner rather than later.
