9800 GT problem with COD modern warfare 2

the OS doesn't matter... and there's no way your CPU survived 234F, that's like ~112c! GPU maybe but most processors would fry exceeding 80c so I'm guessing that's the heat on your video card? you need to rebuild the cooling system or you're going to fry something...

another question..what is the average temp a CPU should run at? i get 77-79 when call of duty is not played but right after i get done playing i get around 92-93

@ EXCellR8 - I'm surprised he already hasn't. 90+ temps on a CPU from what the OP says in the above quote. That's why I wondered if that 234F was CPU temp!

234F was my GPU temp right after i got done playing COD.. all of my cores are at average temp its my GPU that's the problem.

i would recommend taking the heatsink off and cleaning it and the main chips with isopropal alcohol and then apply new thermal paste to the main chip and ram then put the heatsink back on and then install it in the system. then take riva tuner and turn the fan speed up to like 80% and see where your temps stand

he 9800GT is an ample solution for all of the games mentioned. If swapping the power supply doesn't solve the problem, I would recommend trying the card in another computer if you can. It's a bit strange that the card has worked in the system for a year and is just now having problems though. Was the 9800GT installed with the computer when you bought it or did you upgrade yourself?

i really don't know if it worked 100% when i first bought the computer because i only played counter strike 1.6 and that game does not need much of a computer to play the game at 100 frames..when i started playing newer games like L4D or COD i started noticing my game crashing, then i downloaded speed fan and saw that the card is over heating. As for the power supply i already swapped it for a better one. the problem is not my PSU it is my card over heating.
