[i]ok, since i have recently relocated my cpu tp my room upstairs, i find that more and more my exhaust fan keeps running like crazy everytime i play a game. normal internet aside, when i tried to play this game i have (Sid Meier's Pirates!) the exhaust fan was turning so fast it might as well have been prepairing to lift my cpu off and fly it around the room. and now, when i try to play my game, after like two seconds of gameplay it freezes on me, then gives me the message about an error accuring and thats that. i can't think my cpu is over heating, as it's usually like 78'ish in my room, but i could be wrong. i've been having the problem of my cpu's exhaust fan running that hard for a while now and i was wondering if it could have finally done some damage. and this doesn't occur just for my pirates! game... all cpu games i play cause the exhaust fan to start really moving. i do have a different graphics card than the one the cpu came with, but this really is the first time its been giving me problems. so yea, i know i wasn't very clear in explaining said problem and if you need me to provide more answers, i can try. but any help would be appreciated, and i mean if i have to take it to a shop i will but i'd rather not. thanks again!
