help! artifacts on Ti4200 (no overclock)

This is my friend's problem, running PNY Ti4200 on AThlonXP + Gigabyte 7VTXE v1.0

=============================================================
My graphics card is a PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti 4400 with 128MB of video RAM. I run it at stock speeds.

It seems that my graphics card is overheating. This only started a short while ago. At first, it was just overheating a little and it would produce visual artifacts while I was working. Now, however, it brings down my entire system in the worst possible way. All that I do with it lately is run Windows and it overheats within 20 minutes of my system powering on. This causes Windows to tell me that it has "recovered" from a hardware failure.

I run my computer in my room. Acording to my thermometer, it is 24.6C ambient here. My case runs about 40C and my processor hovers at 45C when I have my case closed. My video RAM gets easily twice as hot as my processor.

I bought a VGA cooling system with video RAM heatsinks and everything, but now it's overheating worse than before. My card isn't in warranty anymore, so I can't RMA it.

Oddly enough, it overheats even when I underclock it significantly. So, what should I do now?
=============================================================

now she runs her system with an old TNT board, and it runs fine.
help pls 😉
thanks
 
Make sure the new cooling system makes contact as it should with the core and mem chips and that there's not too many thermal grease.
