thanks guys will do as suggested! this may sound like a totally dumb qusetion, so please forgive my ignorance! why would the cpu be over heating after 10-20-30 minutes playing a game? i have acouple of fans in there that move the air out etc, so, why would it be over heating? and if it is over heating, what can i do about this? can i, as suggested when i check the temp, turn the temp down or something? or do i need a bigger better fan or something? i nether thought i would have so much trouble just to play a couple of games! lol
