I have an Evga Nvidia 6800 128mb agp card.
When I first start up the pc the gpu core temp starts at 79c and the ambient temp is 42c or so. It'll work fine with windows and some games but whenever I try to play world of warcraft I get green lines all over and my system resets. I managed to shrink the game before it reset and noticed the temp rose upto atleast 110c.. This was after only 10 minutes at the very most of gameplay.. Any ideas on what to do? I have my pc case open now with a fan blowing on high into right now. All I have open is aim, and internet explorer and the temp has dropped from 79c to 67c in the past 5 minutes and it is still slowly dropping.
