ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 touching 100°C temperature.

Hello friends, I am writing on this forum with lot of hopes, as I don’t know much more about the hardware products. When I was playing game on my PC I felt that my CPU is getting too hot, before this my PC was getting shut down randomly. I think this heat may be the reason behind that, I seen that my graphic card reach the heat up to 100 degree C. I am using Windows 7 ultimate 32bit with ATI Radeon 4300/4500 Graphic card. So can anyone give me more information on it, and how I can solve this error? Please guys help me I am getting tensed!

Hey I think there is nothing to get worry about it, I have gone through to your case and I have some idea and solution for you which should be implemented. As per my knowledge with video card, I can say that I think fan of your video card is not working or due to some reason it has got stuck, you must check for that and if it not working then replace it. You must use compressed air and it should be blow out to the inside of the PC. Also blow out dust from the fan; because of dust sometime graphic card doesn’t work properly. So just try this, hope it will work again.

Hey I have checked as per your statement, and I am feeling strange to inform you that my card doesn’t contain any fan there. Only one fan is there, I think that’s of power supply which is on motherboard, I have also checked the capacity of the graphic card which is at 55%, and it is reaching the heat of 100 degree C, but my ATI program doesn’t shows that, I think I will have to buy a new fan for my graphic card, if it is causing the error.

Hey that’s really a strange thing that you don’t have fan, I think you are kidding with me, or Company have made you fool. Because without proper ventilation your graphic card heat will keep on increasing, as per my suggestion you need fan for ventilation. I must tell you that you should make an order for intake fan which should be compatible with your motherboard. For the time being what you can do is, just remove the side panel and put one table fan to that open panel of CPU, due to this Video card will not get heat and you will be able to play game.
