cpu temperature ? gpu temperature ?

This was happening to me and I could not find out why...until I checked my graphics card and saw that the fan component and cooling plate disengaged from the surface of the video card's processing unit. The fan melted...and capacitors popped open. Be careful and monitor temps often!!!

You may also want to see if something is being bothersome:

The only other thing that I can think of is bad sectors causing highly a fragmented drive...but I am not sure this would cause such an issue.

Have a look in Admin Tools --> Event Viewer for a list of errors. I'm not thinking the (Torque) program errors especially, but other ones, general disk errors like time-outs can be invicitive of HD being screwed without it failing en masse.

i would have said temp but all other programs work i have 8 fans in the machine and the case open atm. events seem fine hd is only 3 months old so i doubt its that. only seems to be torque my gfx card plays torque in full spec with no slow down or heating issues
