hi guys my which i had for like 2 years i think. Has been weird its hot and im concerned. Idk why it is hot . I checked my fans they all move lol and i checked the dust and its not too dusty but still its hot... Also i could not play games like Lineage2 it said i have a problem with my grpahics card.. SO my first solution was to download latest driver so i went and did that while i was installing it i got an error saying something not detection of card. that was werid becasue my hardware thingy said it was installed and it been fine for like 2 years and the game ran fine before. So i got worred reformated pc. Then my hardware wouldn detect card so i open the card and wiggled it back in. and it worked . But im still wondering why my pc is hotttttt. So i went download SmartDoc (check pc temperature for ASUS MOtherboard) and when i went to open the card it says can not find card info. ^^^ read that my problems are card not working and pc too hot. If you help i can give some amount of credits.
try DLing speedfan and give us the output of the temps. for an athlon XP system up to 40-45C on idle is OK for an a64 35-40ish Northwood 45-50ish prescott 50-55ish those again are a bit high but are considered nothing to worry about... also, what graphics card are you using? if it were truely defective, you likely wouldn't be getting into windows... FYI
