Distored Graphics in The Matrix Online.

[Blaid]

So heres the deal, i Just bought a new Geforce 6600GT by PNY (AGP) to play the matrix online. It works great for a while. But after a couple hours, i start to get majorly distored graphics causing the game to be unstable to the point that i have to crash it. Sounds like it could be alot of problems i know. But tonight something strange started happening. While playing the Matrix online, I went into a VERY GRAPHICLY INTENSE scene. A 40 person brawl, with agents spawning every couple of seconds, spells being used, ect ect. In this situation, I could last about 5 minutes before my game would start to crash.

This makes me think its my video card overheating. Does anyone know of any tools that could tell if it was? its totally stock cooling, and im not over clocking it. If you are sure it is overheating, what VGA coolers would you recommend? ram sinks for the card first?

Please help...

hmm if u go to n-vidia display properties then temperature settings it should tell you your temperature there. Mines a xfx 6600gt. Got myself a Zalman VF700, temp is now 48. Comes with ramsinks too. They wont fit so u have to file the top part of the ramsinks off.

See if the heatsink is making contact with the gpu or feel if the heatsink gets hot.
