My all in wonder x600 pro video card overheats when i play video games such as Battle field 2. any idea why or how to fix it. Ive downloaded the latest driver and my cpu maxes at about 43C.
Rob, Have you checked to see if the gpu fan is working properly? If so, make sure IDE cables are not blocking air flow around gpu or thru case. Otherwise you may need to add addititional case fan.
