That's all I get. I can monitor two fans & thats it. The temp. thing didn't automatically set & the help thing doesn't say how to or give troubleshooting.

What company 6600GT do you have?

Scratch that I'm running 66.93, with the 78.01 I couldn't play for one minute I'd get a blue screen. So I totally deleted all video drivers & went back to the earliest possible drivers (66.93) so far a got through two levels of Brothers-in-arms.
:unsure: Is this the end of bluescreen loops? :rolleyes: I can only hope.
:pinch: Hopefully when I moved my PCI cards so the AGP can breathe more, that'll fix distortion.

That's what I'm saying its not there.

EDIT: LMAO.. :O ..I just did something really dumb :happy: , but its the only way I could tell...So its been idling for 3 hours now & I opened her up & touched the graphics card :01: (the box part where fan is) it was a little warm nothing hot. :D

Well that means two things. Your grafics card is prolly not over heating...any you have no heat sensors :pinch:

Tell me, when you've been sitting watching the TV for a couple of hours, is your forehead hot if someone put's their hand on it? I think not.

Now go outside and jog around for just a few minutes and get them to check again.

Now go outside and run around hard for a few minutes and get them to check again.

Now do the same in a sauna.

I won't bother telling you to check the temp, you are probably dead. Surprisingly, your graphics card seems to have survived.

...What? :blink:

Oh, I didn't post I felt it after a hour of gameplay & after 3 hours of idling...forgot to post that I don't know why. :pinch:

Nice form of sarcasm... :shutup:
