Hello!

I have a I8600 1.7P M 512MB RAM ATi 9600pro turbo with the latests Omega drivers.

 

When playing Counter Strike Source Beta or DOOM III, the game's performance slows considerably and the fans become much louder.

I am assuming the computer is heating up, and the heat is interfering with the video card?  After a minute or two the game's FPS goes up by about 10-20 and

resumes playing as if nothing happened.  Do I need to call Dell for this (I really don't want to as their tech support never gives me any substantial help)

 

Thanks!
