alright i think this may be due to my video card. i turned my comp off, to let it cool for a little bit. and when i turned it back on, i noticed the fan on my TNT2U wasnt spinning. i tapped on it some, and got it to start spinning now, and the comp stopped freezing. i think the fan on it is dying though, as i have caught it not spinning 3 or 4 times now.
i have heard of some people using 486 fans to cool their video cards. i am wondering how effective this is, and how you go about attaching it to the card, since the chip isnt the same size as far as i can tell. i have a fan off an old DX4 100 that i was thinking about using...
so can anyone explain this to me or give me a link to a site that can?
thanks
