I have a new system and it seems as though my video card is overheating. It is a Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 GTS Pro 64mb ddr x4 agp. When I start doing things like playing online games (java) or just surfing the net, my screen will start to get pixelated and random dots appear all over the screen. If I do not take off the case and point a room fans into the case, the screen gets extremely scrambled and the system locks up. My case temp is about at 31-32 degrees C. My CPU is at about 51 at load and 48 at idle. I do not think it is the cpu but rather the vid card. What do you guys think? Any experiances?

My Specs:

1.33GHz T-bird
512 MB micron DDR ram
K7 Master rev. 1.1 bois 1.2
IBM 60GXP 60GB HD
Enermax 451p 431w p/s with 2 fans
2 sunon 80mm case fans
Global Win CAK 38 heatsink
Arctic Silver II thermal paste
D-link nic
Pioneer 105s DVD drive
Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 GTS pro 64mb drr AGP x4
Samsung 753 DF monitor
Win2K service pack 2
Detanator 12.41 drivers
5.22 AMD AGP miniport drivers for win2k.

I get that when I overclock the card too far. But overclocking the card might be a good way to diagnose it. try raising the clock around 10MHz for the chip and lowering it 10MHz for the memory and test it. Then do the opposite. One way will make the problem worse, the other will make it go away. This will indicate which is overheating. You can either get ramsinks or a better GPU cooler to fix it then.

I'm so tired of cookies I'd settle for spam!

is it enchance GTS pro or a real gf pro? Cos, from the picture that i saw from the web, the cooling for the gts is not good. But for the real gf pro, there is a huge fan.
Check this site, is the one at the site same as yours?
