Portal

I got an awesome game called portal. If you haven't played it you should. Anyways, after playing the game for about an hour it started to crash on me. I thought at first that it was just a bad file or something, so I reinstalled the game. After crashing on me several more times after that, i decided to check my video card temperatures( I have an Nvidia 7600gt). After running the game my temps were about 65 deg. C. That seemed pretty hot to me and that seemed to be why the game was crashing after playing for a while. It never crashed right away if my computer had just been sitting, but if I had played it for a while and got my graphics processor hot, then it would crash. So I went into my Nvidia control panel and made some tweaks to my GPU fan speed settings. Now when portal runs the fan on my video card spins 50% faster than normal. I will have to play for a while and see if this change keeps my game stable and running.
