    My old pc has a Nvidia EVGA 7800GT... The graphic card overheats, and crashes when trying to update driver. Is it because of the Graphic card Overheating? or could it be something else. I know when i touch it, it burns my finger :/.... I just hope its nothing else otherwise ill be wasting around 60 bucks on a Gcard for nothing.

    if the card burns your hand when you touch it, the cooling method that it uses is gone or the card has a short in it. nothing inside a pc case should be hot enough to burn your hand - period.

    Pretty much what he said.
    I would certainly recommend getting a can of compressed air and giving it a VERY good clean... may work... may not, but at least that's cheaper than a new card.
