not really dust can then be a problem.......... and you just told us computer temps which are low my gfx card is generally 80C and 90C after heavy load for long amounts of time. my cpu temps are 42C idle and 53C under load, my hardrives alone fluctuate around 50C

my HDD's stay at around 40
would could be reasons for crashing to desktop on 2142 im thinking it could be the 1 gig ram.

you really need 2gb for gaming and your graphics card is pretty old and penitum D's are pretty rubbish lol sorry to put it bluntly but your computer is pretty ****

Well he does meet the minimum requirements to play BF2142.

Try reinstalling it.

72C for a 7300GS is bad, I think..

Try leaving the case panel off and see results.

It is bad, since he said it's 72C idle. That should be a load temperature. He should have a side fan blowing on it.

is there 1 i can buy or do u mean have the side case open with a fan blwing inwards?
