so, I got a new monitor for my parents computer so they can run dual screens. The new monitor runs at 1680x1050 resolution, and the previous one runs at 1024x768 (or maybe 1280x768)
Anyways, after I set it up I noticed the screen began to flick and what not. I felt the graphics card heatsink... and tada it was really hot.
Any ideas on best solution? I'll admit the case doesnt have much cooling, so I was thinking of improving the air circulation and maybe upgrade to a cheap aftermarket gpu heatsink or cooler.
Just a note, I'm looking for a cheap solution
I grabbed a pretty decent graphics card on black friday... only to find their pc only has AGP and not PCIE.
