My computer got too hot and crashed a littler earlier... doing ok now though.

Have you cleaned it? Unplug and shop-vac the vents and fan. Open the case and use a kleenex to gather as much dust or dustbunnies as you can. Check for burned/toasty smell.

Yeah, it's pretty clean inside... problem is that the heat is causing the video card to freak out. A new card would probably fix the problem, but can't afford it right now... so I'll wait a bit until I can upgrade the whole system. ;)
