Hello, first post here Heres my situation: Just got my parts yesterday and assembled my machine MSI K8N Neo4 MSI 6600GT PCI AMD64 3000 1GB of RAM So everything went smoothly with the installation. Windows XP installed fine. Installed all the drivers and everything went well. Then I installed the dreaded Half-Life 2 :x Started playing and it looked very nice ingame with everything set to High quality. Then bam less than a minute later it shut off. I tried once more and it did it again . I checked the video card and the CPU, the CPU was fine but the videocard felt very hot. I left it for awhile and waited for the videocard to cool down. I tried once more and the card got hot unusually fast. The fan looked like it wasnt doing much so I took it off and the chips were covered around halfway with the coolant thingies (sorry forgot whats it called ), is it suppose to be fully covered? or maybe it might do some settings? Anaything would be appriciated! Thanks
how much W's is your Power Supply? and yea, you might need better cooling...look into a VGA PCI cooler card if thats the problem
