I can’t believe this. I’ve bought ATI Radeon X800GTO and it gets hot as hell after only a couple hours. I thought that those graphic cards are designed so that they can endure long work. Besides it seems as if the game I was playing caused this because it was too demanding. Is this possible? I don’t know how to decrease the temperature.

Hm! That’s very strange, indeed. Graphic cards don’t get hot when the game is too demanding. I think that they either support it or not, and if they don’t support you just can’t start the game. Maybe something is wrong with one of the fans or with a cooler. That can bring about problems of that kind. But you should not hesitate in discovering the problem, because if something is wrong and the card continues to heat up, it can be seriously damaged. So, have your PC tested and don’t risk even greater damage. I suggest you not to play games or do any serious work on your PC until you see what is wrong.
