With some games my 6800 GT overheats way too much and crashes my system. (3 gig processor and a gig of ram).
This has happened a few times before, frequantly with Guild Wars or Star Wars Battlefront. I didn't really understand at the time, considering how new I was to graphics cards at the time, why it was crashing till I was advised to check the GPU temperature with a game set in a window and found the temperature going way up.
Then with games like Oblivion the screen goes black if I leave the left side of the case attached so now it's completely exposed. I had to do this to stop some games like the first two mentioned and Nexus, the Jupiter Incident as a further example.
I'd like to know if it's possible to get a better cooling system than the twin fans as they seem to be the crowning weakness for my card.
