I don't really know where to ask this question because there is no Troubleshooting forum, but since I am about 70% sure it's the video card, I ask here. I apologize if this is the wrong forum.
Since summer started, my computer always crashes for no apparent reasons. It gets worse if I play video games, so I suspect it's gotta be the video card. My MB and CPU temperature (right after the crash) were about ~38 Celcius and ~59 Celcius (sometimes lower than that), but I have no idea how hot my video card is, but if I touch the heatsink, even when the computer is on, it's very hot.
I don't really know the problem here, is it my MB not stable, or my video card too hot. And since my budget is limited, I can only replace either the MB, or the video card. Which one is it?
MB: Asus A7A266
Video Card: nVidia GeForce4 MX440
