Hi,
I have an annoying problem... It must be a heat problem, because if I run my computer with one side of the case of, the problem does not occure!
So, whats the problem then? Well, when playing Q3 for 10-20 minutes everything just looks up (no spontaneuos reboot, the display just freez). Could that be the graphics card causeing it? I have a GeForce 256 DDR (Creative) and it is damn hot.
It cannot be the processor, it runs quite cool!
Well, it may seem as a stupid question, but I want to be dead sure. Cause running out buying a new gfx card these days aint cheap!
By the way, if it is the gfx card, would a newer GeForce card (i.e. GeForce2 or 3) run cooler? I have heard that the GeForce 256 ran very hot cause of the manufacturer technic?
Best regards
