So right now I have been having issues with some of the games im playing. I either get on graphically intensive games artifacts that blink all over my screen, or the game evetually locks up.

Im running a 512 Radeon X1900 series card, a 1.8 duel core, 4 gigs of ram, 500 gig WD HD, a 550 watt PSU, Windows Vista Ultimate, and a ABIT AW8 - MAX motherboard and a 2707 Dell 27 in monitor at 1920X1200 but on games I will even bring it down to 1620X1200 (widescreen) with no anti-aliasing.

I have a Antec Chassie (alien logo) design with 2 fans in the front, one on the top, 2 exhausts in the back, and one on the window on the side.

I am concerned my computer may be over heating, or it could be something else that is causing me so many problems playing higher graphically intensive games.

Anyone have any ideas?
