Computer starts up, and shuts back down.

Well it happened again, seems the video card is the hottest thing in the case. Everything else runs cool. It gets hot within a few min, I can place my finger on it for a few seconds before it starts to burn me. Its only a Geforce 2 mx 220. How how should it be?

But I dont think im getting a digital read on it, how can I hook it up so the computer tells me how hot it is.

Also, I had this problem a few years back, but I installed a casefan and havnt had a problem sence. I cleaned out the dust and such, why is it still giving me shit?

MX220 doesn't have temp sensors.

Mine started doing similar things on Saturday.

Temps (full load):
Mobo 27C
CPU 56C
HDD 32C

Blew some dust out and the CPU temp came down a bit and it stabilised. Temps should drop even more when I get a new can of air duster.

Wish I had a leaf blower.

Im having major problems again, same as in my first post. My computer programming teacher said it could be a PSU problem. I have no way of testing this because I dont own another PSU.

Hopefully I can bring it in to him later on this week.
