Has anyone had any problems with a visiontek gf2 mx 400 overheating? If so, how did you fix it?

If you're having a problem with your video card overheating, maybe sticking a bigger cooler like a Blue Orb or a SS7 cooler on the GPU and then some ram sinks on the RAM and you'll probably find that you'r card is much cooler and able to overclock!

Well, the strange thing is I haven't overclocked the card. Shouldn't the card be able to handle the temperature with the original factory settings?

it should be abel to, what kind of problems are you having?

Anytime I play a 3d game, (i've tried UT, Deus Ex, Half-Life, and Carmageddon TDR 2000) after a short period of time (about 3 minutes) the sound stops working and all I hear is a high pitched very annoying sound. Sometimes the entire computer locks up also. Sometimes the game will continue to play but the mouse stops working and then after maybe 30 seconds of that, the entire computer locks up. This happens no matter what screen resolution I use and it happens with Direct3D and OpenGL.
