Hi I need some help here. I just built a computer recently. It's seems to run very
smoothly most of the time, but every once in a while (like playing Doom3 for instance), my screen starts to flicker and I get a message from Intel stating "System Zone 2 Exceeded Recomended temperature". What the heck is zone 2?
I thinks its my chipset (925x), but I'm not sure. And if so, what chip would it be, the upper chip by the CPU or the lower one by my video card. My case is properly vented with one intake fane in the lower front and 2 rear exaust fans on the back. Can somebody give me some advice on what to do or whats going on inside my machine. Thanks!

Ps. if it matters my computer contains the following. Intel d925xcv mother board w/lga 775 3.2 cpu. 1024 ddr2, ATI x700 pci express video. etc.....
