hmm ok just by looking at the temperature readings i can see that a fan isn't even running...



also i have
-AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000+
-and i have 1 Gb of RAM
-hard drive
size-114 Gb
free space-22 Gb

could the fan in my video card have burnt up?

We won't know, until you open the case. SpeedFan is not always easy to read.
Temps are OK. That 127C is most likely missing sensor.
It's always a good idea to look inside once in a while, give it a shot of compressed air (with computer off, of course), and see (with computer on), if fans are running.

ok i check inside the case and all the fans are running... but i remembered that my CPU was over clocked so i set it back to default settings, ill see if the problem continues.

thanks
