Well now that it's getting hot, N2002 is locking up. It appears to be heat related and my bet is the video card (it is not over clocked). Any suggestions for extra cooling? I am going to add a fan to blow across the card, but I am not clear on what is the best approach. I believe the built in fan is pushing air into the heat sink, so I don't want to create a vacuum in front of the fan and make things worse. MB temperature around the time of lockups is about 32/89 degrees. I don't have any other temperature monitors except the one on the motherboard so I have nothing else to go on. Thanks, Russell
The cheapest easist method...although the least cosmetic, is to pull the sides off the case and place a desk fan next to open sides....let it blow through and you'll get FAR FAR FAR more air movement then the tiny case fans can move. dave henrie "R Keating" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ad3l3o$p8i$[email hidden]... > Well now that it's getting hot, N2002 is locking up.
