If you have Vista try running the games in the XP compatible mode.

Havnt had them under any significant load yet, but burning a cd and gaming online the cpu was running 20C.Though the Nb and Sb were both running hot around 51C, looking into fans for them. No temp probe on the 4870s but i dont think thats enouph to heat them up, Asus 4870 1G with dark knight quad-pipe cooling solution.
Also been having a lot of dialogue error boxes ( ... has encountered a problem and needs to close.) Tried to install nero 8 -error, burning a dvd -error, along with a couple other programs. Think it might be a problem with windows installation? Service pack 3 downloaded fine and the problem remains. |
