What Causes Overheating?

by ngen255 . Updated 22 years, 10 months ago

Hi, I’m having problems with my computer. It slows down at some random times, and freezes whenever I play games. Is this a problem with overheating? Whenever I touch the video card right after it freezes, it feels incredibly hot, as in it burns my fingers. I’m wondering if I should buy one of those video card agp fans?Right now I have a big fan hooked up, but it only blows right in the case, without targeting anything specifically. There are no other problems, as the games I play don’t require too much hardware. I have windows 98, 128 mb ram, 800 mhz duron processor. I play Counterstrike mostly, and I know my computer should be able to handle THAT without too much problem
