if it is your gfx card, check my thread on how to cool it called "new cooling system" http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=251869
I dont know the temperature when its playin games how do i find that out? oh and its a radeon x700. The only thing thou the other day i open the side of it to see if that would help and when it started the problem my GFX card was really hot.
Its probally overheating, is what it sounds like. Take off the side of the case, run ur game, and then tell us how it does. Also, it could be a memory leak which is casuing the 100% Overload/heat. What game are u running?
well a used to play COD2 but now i only play Guild Wars but b4 i could play this game without no problems. and i have try for a few day with the side open and still the same problem. If its a memory leak how can i fix this? Merged Post: also when i play my games my cpu usage is a way up at 100%.
