<p>I had thought that it might be getting old, but I only bought the
video card new 3 years ago. How long should one last? Psensor
shows the temperature of the card at 77°C, but the specs show the
maximum allowed temperature is 102°C. It just started doing this
a few days ago. I guess I could go into my parts box and find
another video card to put in there until I get a chance to buy a
new one.</p>
<p>thanks<br>
