OK. My brother just bought Guild Wars, and while he was playing it, the computer suddenly shut-down. It automatically rebooted, and the first thing I ran was SpeedFan, knowing my PC case has Horrible air circulation. It was at 65C, which is about 20C more than idle. I thought the whole system had just overheated, but then I got a message saying my Intel Graphics Driver had malfunctioned and Windows had recovered succesfully from the problem. So, first thing I ask, I need a new graphics card (don't want to keep crashing my pc), and the best thing I've found is a GeForceFx5500. I only have PCI slots, so nothing top of the line for me. Anyways, this card is from eVGA, and is only $54 (Link). Should I buy it? If I buy that, I might OC it abit (if possible), so I'd buy a fan for it (Link. I'd also like to cool down my case abit. Currently, it only has the PS fan in it (stupid Compaq). Are these fans any good? Link Link. Which one should I buy out of those 2? Also, I'm thinking of maybe putting a window in and a 130mm (not 120, 130) fan in it (Link) Should I do that? Also, should I buy a new CPU HSF (Link)? I'm done with most of my Christmas shopping, so my next paycheck or two could contribute to this, plus any money I get for Christmas. What do you guys think? Comments/Suggestions are NEEDED!
