Crash

You might want to check if there is a new BIOS flash for your motherboard. That could fix the issue (possibly).

Hey People.
My pc hasnt crashed recently but ive been cutting down on my games cos it crashes, so next time it crashes gecko il paste.
In the mean time, i did some searching and read, and 'speed fan' was mentioned, not to me obv but i downloaded it and well, this doesnt look good.


The fire next to each thing doesnt fill me with confidence.
Should i buy a new gpu fan?
What should i be doing, and why on earch is it getting hot?

Post back please.
Venney.

All those erros where around the same time.

If the card was working good and now its not, there are general issues with video cards with fans. In a dusty environment, they don't spin too well after 6 months. Pull the card and use a can of dust off and blast the dust out. If you have a cat, cat hair is terminal in most cases, replace the fan.

What most people don't realize is, computers are glorified dust filters. You don't have to change your furnace filter, your computer will take up the slack--until the fans clog and overheat

Hope this helps
