GeForce 6100 (Chipset) crashing on eMachines T3304

For whatever reason my pc keeps crashing due the GeForce 6100 (its a chipset) in my pc, I checked my temperatures and this what I saw:

This on idle by the way:
CPU: 124-126 °F
Ambient: 82 °F
Remote: 79 °F
HD0: 84 ° F
Temp1: 104 °F
Core: 102 °F
GPU: 32°F

I'm pretty sure my GPU isn't 32 °F, I clocked it down with ATITool and that makes my pc last longer.

When it crashes its a bunch of think colored horizontal lines going down the screen, showing colors of whatever was on the screen at that time.

Also I get this error signature from Windows XP:

BCCode: 9c BCP1:00000004 BCP2: 80546DF0 BCP3: B20000000 BCP4SP00070F0F OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 3_0 Product: 256_1

and I limit the ram to 512mb.

It seems to only crash when World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.

Any help would be strongly appreciated.
 
I've been using one of these for almost 10 years and it has worked well, when I had crashes similar to what you described it was always ram related, so I would think checking the ram would be a start, as for temperature, this chipset can get hot, so I would try position a fan near it.

OK, I do have a spare USB fan I could try.
 
I seem to remember having to use the microsoft drivers that come with windows for the graphics on these chipsets. Any Nvidia ones would cause crashes.

IDK, at first I had the wrong drivers then when to Nvidias website, and it auto detected my gpu for me, then downloaded and installed it, I think it's the heat that's killing my GPU. :-(

That is a srsly inadequate amount of RAM even for WinXP patched to all the updates, NET Framework, etc. Would cause your HDD to beg for mercy due to paging and thrashing.

Well, I don't have it patched to the latest because it would always get stuck downloading the update.

I was thinking about just keeping the case, and just replacing the whole thing inside with a new mobo, etc.

It should be no problem. I've replaced the innards on a number of them. These older T Series from eMachines are all standard, pretty decent cases really. MicroATX motherboard, ATX (PS2) PSU, etc. Space is a bit tight even for MicroATX boards so you might want to avoid a replacement board that uses more than 2 DIMM slots, as those tend to be a bit wider front to back.

All I need to do is give it a good cleaning first! Theres some weird crap on the bottom, its like dust kindof.
 
I forgot to mention that I'm using 3D Analyze, to emulate my GPU, so maybe this could lead to a completely different problem.
