Hi I'm not much of a computer savvy person but lately I've been seeing my computer shutdown when trying to play any of the latest graphic intense games. I noticed when I tried playing C&C3 demo. It would run fine for like 10 minutes and then unexpectedly my computer would freeze and I would be unable to do anything except reboot by holding down the power button. I tried this with other games like GRAW and FEAR and got the same problem.
My graphics card is a 6600 GT which I know is definitely not very powerful but I've been able to play GRAW and FEAR with it no problem until now.
Could it be that my graphics card is overheating? I don't see any graphic artifacts but it seems to be way too hot when I put my hand to it right after rebooting (no onboard temperature sensors with AGP version).
I've recently been using Prime95 torture tests to check my CPU and RAM and it's been running for 24+ hours, so I think I can safely assume that it's not a problem with them.
PS I've also downloaded and installed the latest drivers.
Freezing seems to occur only after a certain amount of time, not earlier or later.
Warcraft 3 FT runs fine after any amount of time (play dota hehe)
