Hi,
I have a AMD Barton XP3000 and was wondering what the average temperature should be as mine is about 45 to 50 .c is this right?

Also my graphics cards is i think getting to hot because whenever i play a graphic intense game it crashes to the desktop after just a few minutes of playing.

The card is an NVidia Geforce XFX 5900XT is it posible that it is due to high temperature?

If so can i do anythung about it?

Is there any kind of utility that monitors graphics card temperetures?

any help would be great thanks

chris
