Have you cleaned out the fan and cooling fins?

[mor1995]

yes i did it...its not helping...what alse i can do??

[Revs]

Maybe take the cooler off and re-apply the thermal paste. It's a bit of a pain but if it's never been done it'll be due for a change.

Do you have good air flow through the case?

[mor1995]

yes i removed the right door
can u explain it to me how to do it?

Sounds like your 8800GTX is coming towards the end of its life...How long have you had it?

I only ask cause if it is new then we can rule out that your problem is due to old age (3 years or more for those cards).

Download the latest nvidia drivers. There was a newer set of drivers that was causing cards to burn up, they retracted those drivers. Don't use them. Use whatever nvidia has posted up today.
