The way they make things now, they don’t last as long so that you will have to spend more money for more equipment.

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.

thanks
