Video Card Overheating....What should I do?

[sdprice84]

am in no way a pc guru. I have a nvidia gt 220. It worked great for the first 2 years I've owned the system. Now it overheats. After about 10 minutes of playing games like WoW or Diablo 3 its hits about 110 degrees and crashes my system. I have used heat monitoring software and nothing else seems to be overheating. My system specs are 6 gb ram and a 2.8 quad core processor. So I think those are ok. Should I upgrade cards? I found a 610 on amazon for 40.00. I think my power supply is enough. It says 350W max. The 610 says 300w. What do you think? Is the 610 a significant upgrade and can my system handle it without bottlenecking or affecting any performance. I really dont want to buy a new system but id like to get back into my gaming. Thanks in advance

don't get 610 at all ! it is a slow card.

how much are you willing to pay for your VGA ?

and is your case low profile or standard case?

Stick a fan on it, use either zipties (cableties) or glue it on- a few dollars, five minuets work, problem solved.
