In Need of Help

Hey, well i have a heat problem right now, whenever i play any of my games all of a sudden the computer crashes, i knew from the start that it was heating problem, so i took of the side of my case and after that the computer doesnt crash anymore. I think its because of my video card, when i used to have a radeon 9550 it would be fine with the side on, after i got my 6600 thats when it started getting hot. Any tips on how to get my computer cool and be able to put the side back on would be apreciated, thx

Ok. You can add another case fan or get a more powerful one and also if your over clocking anything that causes more heat.

or you can get a fan that can get plug into a molex connector, and simply make it shoot on your video card, it helps.
