I don't think a soundcard can overheat... Check drivers, virus, spyware, maybe?

ya, what makes you think that it is overheating if the temperatures are all normal? have is the sound integrated? what heatsink are you putting a fan on? the northbridge or cpu? have you tried updating your sound drivers at all? Sounds like either spywere or bad drivers.

sad to say b34stly's computer is now down so i will post for him. He says his nothbridge went up to 130 until he got a fan on it. Its not spyware or virii and the bios have been reset
