• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

XP SP2
C2D 6600 running at 2.8ghz 1.21v 40'C Idle and 50-52'C underload
Memory is 4gb of corsair xms2 not OC'd
evga 8800GTX on the evga 680i - it's not OC'd but it's running hot 64'C Idle, up to 70-75'C ingame.

I've had the computer for about 2 weeks and everything has been running great. But today, I try to play Company of Heroes and it repeatedly crashes the entire computer during startup. After a few reboots, I managed to get to the Menu screen and started a quick match skirmish game. But after about 2 minutes the entire computer FREEZES up. Can't tab, can't crtl alt del.
I tried playing Oblivion, but after casting a spell and engaging an enemy the same thing happens.

Is this a video card problem? Perhaps it is too hot? Or is this my CPU? It's fairly cool underload at 50'C

Keep in mind that I have been running all week at the overclocked 2.8ghz and no problems. The only thing i installed this week was an ebay toolbar.

I've got 2 120mm Fans blowing directly at the video card with the case open. I live in FL, it's 77'F degrees in my room.
