20 bucks says it's overheating.
Buy a can of air. Take computer apart. Spray it down, focusing on the VGA card and the CPU. Put back together. After that, make sure the VGA card fan is actually working. Open your computer while it's on and look.
The other fans wouldn't act up, because they aren't dependent on the fan on the VGA. There's no interaction there.
Then do yourself a favor and never buy Dell again.

HBD!
Speaking of home-brew kits: I just purchased a kit that allows you to turn any type of juice in it's original container into wine. I live in dorms at college. I'm 19. Free wine for the fucking win.

So I haven't been able to play Crysis, as it's being really shitty. I can't play in DX10 mode, only compatibility mode, and it's all around pissing me off.

Well, I must say, this last episode was really emotional for me. It had me at tears on several parts.
I liked the way it ended, though I do want to see some sort of spin off / information thing explaining a lot of the other ideas they never explored. Like Walt, the numbers, etc.

Your life sucks. This news sucks. You suck.

I have the same PSU. It's nice.
Because I sure thought it.
Just sayin'.
Congrats!
Honestly, I would suggest mine. It's so nice.
Oh well. Time to reinstall Steam.
You need to either RMA the card or replace it's cooler. The issue is on the card itself.
Your amount of RAM is completely unnecessary, honestly. No games or programs will ever make use of it.
Also, go for a better motherboard. It's not high end enough for that budget.
AMD Phenom II x4 @ 3.4 Ghz
4 gigs of DDR3 1600 memory
XFX Radeon HD 5850
And I guess I can mention the OCZ Vertex SSD I'm getting, as well.
I'll probably make a journal of the details when I get it.
If you didn't you would have explicitely stated otherwise.
Either way, at least she went peacefully. She was pretty messed up.
My condolences.
