ok how do i start i have graphic card geforce gt220 when is sart the game after a couple of minutes it turn the graphic card down looks like unplugged temp 1 and gpu is like 110°C and i have to restart the whole system someone able to help me? Sepap BTW it happens with all games but TF2 it shuts down faster than the others
check if fans are actually turning on the vid card or on the motherboard, and that airflow thru the case isn't blocked. I dont know what "temp1" is, but its too hot. You should use temp readers which are actually of the makers of the motherboard/ graphic card. those would show correct values and show what temperature it actually IS. (if it is an unknown, the temp can be wrong by so many degrees)
airflow is not blocked fans are turning those readings are when i'm not gaming even with case fully open it doesnt work :S
You got 2 options I guess, 1 your temperature reader is broken and shuts your pc down when reading to high temperature or your gfx card is broken as a whole (could be diffrent things like broken cooling installatio, use to much power wich overheats your gpu, etc...) first did you clean your gfx card inside ? airdust cleaner spray or a vacuum-cleaner will do ("I'm just cleaning my room! :badgrin:") You can always see your correct temps and rpm of the fans in your bios If you still have warranty (I believe you will (2years)) bring the gfx card back to the store (they will test it) say it overheats when playing games...automatically they will say is you air flow good, dust etc...
might try leaving the side of your case open, mayb the interior gets to hot and blows hot air onto the gpu ( probably not but you never know )
thx rex i did what you told me and indeed i removed the fan from my card and cleaned it out now the temp. is allot better than before ill go play tf2 and ill see what happens thx everyone for the advice ;-)
