Geezus I'm never going with Dell ever again. After having this comp for about a year and a half the graphics card did burn out and I went and bought a nVidia 9k w/e. I'm not gonna rule out hardware/over heating yet, but I wanna try to stay on the software side due to lack of money.. Unless.. all signs point to hardware......
