Overheating issues

[Akki_cool]

Wel my pc has been reportedly heating up while playin' high graphic - games...and suddenly it goes off...
Interestingly, my pc screen also shakes a lot (evrytime)..
Wat can i do..

Well first you should get a monitoring program like Everest / Coretemp / Realtemp and see wich component is overheating. You can buy an aftermarket cooler for the cpu/gpu or a new case if yours lacks airflow.

Speedfan isnt that accurate, download HWmonitor, coretemp or realtemp, they are all accurate and free

Clean all the dust out of the heatsinks of both your video card and CPU.

That's what i tried... nd tried my best...
wel, i'll send u the temp. as fast i can.

Core - 47 degrees , while playin' games it reaches till 55 nd then it goes off...
the temp. i provided u is the normal temp while i surf d net...

I guess , my graphic card is creating the problem..
its of 64 MB only..
or should i try changing d fan....?¿?¿
and YES... at the moment that it turns off... a foul smell of something burning comes..... nd it vanishes... evrytime
