Everything is running a little higher than 90°F? That's not hot at all...You're fine...

every time i play games tho my computer freezes and stops working. or sometimes when its idle it will do that.

90F is fine but if its 90C its BURNING!

Try getting PC Wizard from what I have heard and experienced it is sometimes better with some MOBO's

PC WIZARD

Report back the temp, if its in Celcius or Farenheit

Have you updated all your drivers-defraged in a while-disk cleanup- checked for spyware and viruses

try reapplying the heatsink with some AS5 after purifying the surface with some rubbing alcohol and a lintless clothe.

Those are fine temperatures.

 

[custompc79]

do you think the reason why it freeze and stops working is just the graphics card?

 

[Jet]

What are your computer specs?

 

[custompc79]

AMD 3200+ @ 2.0ghz;Corsair 512mb DDR; 7900gs 256mb, ASUS A8N-E.

 

[Yo-Yo]

What kind of power supply do you have? You might need to get a better one with that kind of graphics card.

 

[custompc79]

420w. is that too low?

420w. is that too low?

It's possible, do you know how many amps are on the +12V Rail(s)? It should say on the side of the PSU if you dont know.

 

[custompc79]

i believe it said 14

 

[StrangleHold]

yeap, if its just 14amps on the 12V, not much

This is a pretty good one if you want a low price!

Thank. i just checked other 7900gs' and they said min. 20amps. thats why its been crashing. thank you very much.

14A is too low for a 7900GS. My pick would be the XClio 450BL.
