this is my first post i am running a WINDOWS xp sp3 based pc that has a celeron d 3.20 ghz processor an msi ms-7033 915pm mobo with 2gig memory and no on board video. i purchased a pny gforce 8400 gs pci graphic card with 512mb ddr2 memory. all drivers and software are as current as i could GET from their manufacturers
the system seems to be running ok with games such as half LIFE and half life 2 but when i go to the demo programs from nvidia(graphic cpu manufacturer) they run extremely slow like one frame every couple of seconds .
i would like to know if this is a hardware conflict or is it something else?
the graphic card processor starts heating up when i even watch videos and runs between 110 and 120 degrees but normaly runs at about 95 at idle
i would appreciate any HELP on this issue

thanksTry cleaning your video card. Sometimes too much dust causes some parts of the CPU to OVERHEAT. Hope this helps you my friend.thanks for the reply
the video card is straight out of the box brand newTry testing on a different computer to see the results. If same as main pc, then probably graphics card may be having issues.

hey guys just wanted to say thanks for the suggestions
i just found out that the problem is an issue between the nvidia demos and windows xp

thanks again
