Thanx Scott that sounds reasonable. Umm 1 thing, was this only happening when you played ffxi? Cuz when i use photoshop etc it wasnt doing it, it was only FFXI

IF not maybe its the overheating, which I hope not because I don't wanna order a new one. I have a SP tonight! lol :(

When you play a game on a computer you're putting alot more strain on the system when just using it. That's why it only happens while your playing FFXI. Try playing another game and see if it still happens. If it doesnt, then it's probably a software issues with ffxi
