this thing begins when im IN game, not in windows, but continues to happen when im in windows too, i tried to reinstall video card drivers, tried to install newer ones, older ones, none did work, i also removed the video card and checked it if its OK, and it was OK, so i tried everything i can... didnt work, please help me, i appreciate any help, thanks in advance
 
starts after 5-10 seconds for warcraft 3

2-3 minutes for world of warcraft

havent tried other games
 
How long has this been occuring? How is the cooling on your video card? What about the northbridge (chipset on your motherboard)?
 
Does this happen in safe mode?

Are you using any 'advanced' skinning applications such as WindowsBlind?

When did this start happening, and what did you do (if anything) before/when it first happend?

2-3 days, but it was happening rarely, now its happenning all the time, which is very annoying

the cooling is OK, i checked the fan on the video card, and its working fine, but i dont have a software to see whats the heat in there, if you can tell me a software like that, i can tell you the exact number
 
An Ap like motherboard manager will alow you to see the temps+voltages on your motherboard (and i believe Nvidia graphics cards as well)

you mean like themes? im using windows vista theme for like 3-4 months now, i dont think that may cause any problems, do you?

and this happened first when i was gaming... i restarted and it was fine, but then it started to happen more often, now it happens all the time :l
 
Yes, Try safe mode..... if it doesnt happen in safe mode it is likely that its being caused by drivers (as safe mode only uses the essentials + a GUI)

I dont think the vista theme is your problem :P But try using the windoze Classic theme, just in case :P

Ie never seen anything like this, so its worth trying everything! :D
 
i can't test if it happens in safe mod or not, cause this thing only happens in games, and i cant get in a game in safe mod, :(
 
70 is prolly ur cpu (u got a pentium?).... 29 sounds right for a hdd!

im guessing this is *C, not *f (lol!)
 
check the fan on your cpu, is it definetly working?

also, hit ctrl+alt+del.... whats your cpu useage at?

my 2200+ got to 56*c when the fan wasnt working properely, and i was only in the bios! i turned it off bfore it ghot any higher coz\ that was the temp with a 1% load!
 
how can i check my cpu fan while pc is working? :) got a software for that?
the cpu usage is normal, around %2-5
 
i already got speedfan mate, but i can't figure out whats temp1 and temp2? which one is cpu?
