Geforce 6600 GT overheat? UNSOLVED
I've reformatted my computer, and installed the latest drivers and all of that crap, and my games run at 10-30 FPS, when they used to run at 60 all of the time.
The temp of the CPU goes up from 50-60 to 70-80 after playing games, and the top of the graphics card gets quite hot too.
Would 70-80 be hot for an Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.00 ghz, with hyperthreading? Would turning hyperthreading off help? Has the Geforce 6600 GT known to overheat on a P4S800 mobo? It has restarted a few times due to overheating while I'm playing my game.
Any ideas on how to cool it down if the gfx card is overheating? I plan to have this computer for a while, so can anyone help me?
