Hi guys. I'm hoping one of you can help me out with this frustrating problem I have. As per the thread title, my graphics card is overheating somewhat. I'm trying to play fallout 3, and the game only runs for about 5 minutes or less before the graphics go all strange and it freezes. Or I try to access the pip-boy and it just freezes. Or it freezes when I pause the game. Or it freezes when.... yeh you get the point. It freezes. I actually managed to play the game up until the point where I got to Megaton.
I have tried lowering the graphics settings. Still freezes. I have spent about 4 hours researching for a solution but have come up with nothing. I did everything that was suggested to other users like uninstalling the asus drivers and loading nvidia drivers. Still nothing. So i took the card out and did a complete uninstall of every driver I had installed. And now whenever I boot up windows I get a message asking me to install drivers for the coprocessor!
I have run furmark, and the temperature got to 86 degrees before my pc actually shut itself down. The processor is an AMD athlon 64 x2 dual core 4400+. I read somewhere about someone else in a similar situation to me, and it was suggested that it might be a case of the power supply being underpowered. I took a look at mine, and its total output is rated at 680w max. Motherboard is an asus M4N78 PRO. I would be especially grateful if someone can point me in the direction of a driver to the coprocessor as well.
