Hello, my friend got me a new video card, it's ati radeon hd 3800 series, but when i put it in my pc i noticed a huge problem. It's overheating really fast, and got some blue screens already. It runs about 70 degrees celsius with 50% fan speed at idle, but when i want to play some games it's hitting 100 degrees in about 5 minutes, even though the game is really old and gpu is much more capable than that. so i dont know what the problem could be. i would appreciate alot if you guys could help.
My pc specs are:
CPU:Intel pentium 4 630 3.00 Ghz
Motherboard:ASUS P5LD2
Ram: DDR2 1 gig
GPU: ati radeon hd 3800 series
two 250 gig HDD's not sure of the rpm
CD/DVD-RW rom
PSU:HEC-300AR-PTF
AC input:230Vac 50Hz 5A
DC output:+3,3v +5v +12v -5v -12v +5Vsb
Max.A 28A 30A 15A 0.5A 0.8A 2A +5v&+3.3V combined 180W
Total output 300W
P.S. I think the fault is in the PSU, but could lack of power really cause the GPU to overheat?
