it is running too hot. Check your device manager in the
system properties for any problems. Try the roll back
driver option for the NVIDIA display card, and be sure it
is fully pushed firmly into the AGP slot on the board.
Also you can check for error and warning messages in the
Event Viewer, in Administrative Tools, in the control
panel, which are related to this problem.
