<p>There's a fan built into the side of the case. I could take the
side out of the case and put a small fan in there aimed at the
video card. Right now Psensor says the video card is at 55°C, but
I just started the machine a few minutes ago. After it warms up,
the card stays around 80°C. Still, if something in the card is
going bad, it may act up at lower temperatures than it should.
Also it can't hurt to cool it down.</p>

<div>You problems sound like they could be heat related. If you
have a box fan of some sort and you can improve airflow in
your machine, you might be able to test it. Or maybe your
case could be better ventilated.</div>

<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>
