Sounds like a heat problem. What are the temps on that thing? And do you have the latest drivers?

 

[pavester]

hmmm i have only been able to get basic temps, which were at 47-41c
and i got the drivers they recommended

any suggestions on what drivers i should be using? and any thought of a good temp monitoring proggy

i just want a hold over i dont want to pay any money to fix it. Im just waiting to get passing in spanish 4 to buy my vga card, ram, dvd drive,heatsink and fan!

You should be using the 81.85 drivers from NVIDIA found here. But make sure you FULLY uninstall the old drivers and as for a temp program...I have no idea as I no longer use an NVIDIA graphics card. And that 41-47*C temp you told me, is that at load or idle?

 

[pavester]

thats what a complete system temp monitor gave me it didnt say anything about load or where the temps wer from.....but i was only browsing the internet after playing bf2

 

[Beef Taco]

What were you using to get the temp.?

 

[pavester]

some generic prog i got from googling computer temp program

 

[Beef Taco]

Lol, and that program was called.....?

Try everest for temps.

 

[Beef Taco]

Lol, i totally forgot about mentioning everest...
