computer video card trouble i think?

Question

okay,
when i play guildwars on my computer it works you know, every hour or mabey every 20 minutes it will just shut off the whole comptuer will shut off. I thought it was overheating so i reversed a fan in the case, befor i had two blowing out and one blowing in so i fliped one around so now 2 are blowing in and one is blowing out, i know i have to have atleast 1 fan blowing out, but i think it is my graphic card i have a ge-force 6500 the minimum requirments for this game is an ati or ge-force 3 or 4 mx or an 8500 ati card. so mine is obviously too small for this game which would over heat and cause the computer to auto shut down so nothing frys
someone told me this theory so are they rite?
the only thing i dont have that is required for this game is the rite graphic card

Answer 1

Did you tried lowering your graphics on guild Wars? If not then do so an see if it lasts you any longer, and if it does last you longer that means your graphic card isnt that strong. And it gets overheated.

Answer 2

It could also be due to processor overheating. Install a temp monitoring software like Speedfan or Everest to check its temperature.
You might have insufficient case ventilation. Try running your game w/ side panel open and an electric fan pointed to the motherboard. If temps go down and no shutdown, you need to improve case airflow. If problem still persists and your video card is really running hot, you could replace its cooler w/ a bigger one or mount an Antec Spot cooler pointed to the video card or replace the card entirely.

Answer 3

it quite is overheating. :P GT variations often come stocked with followers at 40% speeds, discover this software, I forgot what it quite is observed as, to up the default velocity to 70% or something. GTs are time-honored for overheating, you additionally can take of the canopy of your case and bypass away it open. installation followers interior the case is additionally a answer. replace your drivers merely in case.
