Overheating Video Cards can Crash your PC

If you happen to be wondering why your computer would suddenly give you a blue screen, check out the message first. If it has something to do with your video card, chances it is overheating for some reason.

Normally, you will notice that these video cards have built-in auxiliary fans. The purpose for this is to maintain a certain temperature level for their use. Some make use of wider heat-sink fans but if you are the type who spends a lot of time on the computer, this may not be practical.

Going back, once you get that blue screen, try and check our video card hardware. Observe if the fan is still functioning and how fast it is going. If it is not the normal speed to which ventilation is being circulated, chances are your video card is indeed overheating.

Normally, this will be a real problem for you. While you can try and use your computer over and over again, chances are it will keep on crashing and giving that blue screen. Worst, if you are not careful, the next time around your computer may not load anymore.

Such big problems from one computer peripheral can really be frustrating

Installing Mac OS X Leopard on a PC

…“You can build your system for a lot less than a real Mac and get the performance of a top-dollar Apple machine. This is fact and a lot of the real Mac users will deny, but it is fact. My machine runs a e4300 Core Duo Processor over-clocked to 3.40 GHZ. Where can you get a 3.4-GHz Mac? It will cost you a fortune. I have 1066-MHz DDR2 memory. Where can you get that on a real Mac???”

“Why run OS X? Well, when you are just used to Windows, it is like living inside a house and not experimenting the whole world out there. Once you get out of it, it is just amazing. Mac is just that: You just feel like glued to the computer. Everything is just beautiful, the interface, the stability. Once you experiment it, you don’t want to go back to windows.

Nvidia Drivers Crippling Your Windows Vista Experience?


It annoys me that Nvidia have been claiming they are ‘Vista Ready’ when their driver releases have obviously been stop gap releases. My two latest experiences with nvidia’s drivers were both fraught with problems.

Nvidia nForce driver

On the 23/02/2007 nvidia’s nForce driver suite; nForce RAID Class Controller, nForce4 Serial ATA Controller and nForce RAID Device, was available to Windows Vista users via Windows update. One would assume than, if the driver had been cleared by Microsoft to be offered via Windows update that the driver was in fact ready. My experiences suggest otherwise. After installing the nForce driver via Windows Update and rebooting I found myself unable to boot back into Windows Vista. Luckily, Windows provided some salvation with the ‘Last Known Good Configuration’ option which presumably rolled back to drivers that were working before Windows was unable to load.

As it stands nVidia doesn’t have a complete nForce driver equivalent to its WindowsXP counterpart. It looks like I will have to wait for the next release of ForceWare drivers and hope they give me more love than this release did.

Nvidia ForceWare 100.65 driver released

What was previously a beta driver; the 100.65 release, has now been officially released and
