My graphic card is idling at 80 degrees... I'm not sure how long this has been going on. I popped in a game for the first time in about a year and the thing just started crashing. So I checked my GPU temps and found an 80 degree idle temp.
I'm not to sure what happened. Could it be the card? Possibly the heat sink? I'm going to roll back drivers before I pull the cards. Cards are Radeon X1950 Pro BTW.

They are quite hot cards but obviously it shouldn't be that hot. Is the fan even working?

How dusty is the inside of your computer?

Computer is clean. Cleaned it about a month ago and then again today. Both GPU fans are running. As are the four case fans.
I'm going to pull them. Remove any old thermal grease and put some new stuff on there. The old stuff may have got dry. Might bring it down a couple degrees.

Did that and put all the fans in the case to maximum speed. It sounds like a Boeing jet, but is now idling at a much better 71-72 degrees.
