    44? thats nothing - on a hot day after playing UT2 mine got to almost 80 and still stable even with an overclocked graphics card! at 44 degrees temperature is not a problem!
    i had the same problem when my PSU was on the way out - but it could easily be the graphics card or drivers or RAM or motherboard or just about anything

    That's quite a common temperature you have. Can't be the cause of the freezes.

    9000 is a low end slow card :p it'll bee much faster with a 9800 pro the 9800 pro is in my opinion the best card out there(with the fx5900 having probs and stuff...) if you've got the money get it :D

    Cool! ty guys :)

    My final question ;p

    im newie to computer installing but argh what does this mean:"
    RADEON 9800 Series of products requires connection to your PC's internal power supply for operation. Consult your system builder or OEM to ensure your system has an adequate power supply. Otherwise, ATI recommends a 300-Watt power supply or greater to ensure normal system operation where a number of other internal devices are installed. "

    I think I got an 300w power supply, but what does it mean when
    it say I need to "requires connection to your PC's internal power supply for operation" ?

    Do I need to plug something to the internal power supply?

    Yes, the card has a standard molex connector like hdd's power connector.
