Hello Carlos suarez and welcome to TSF.

What is your PSU (power supply unit). If this is insufficient it can lead to bproblems later like the PC randomly shutting down or even destruction of your PC components eventually. I would also like to know what Case you have and where are the fans blow/how many are there and what size they are. Is this a laptop?

On the subject of registry fixers, they can only do harm to your PC. DOn't use them ever. There is nothing the registry ever needs to be tuned except by manually doing things like getting rid of the ill fated Directx 10 for XP that doesn't work.

I would like to know your computer's temperatures. Use Coretemp for the CPU and record the temps for when the computer is idle and in game (load), do the same thing for GPU-Z.

my power supply unit is ELITE TEC-500 and i havent tried the coretemp thing yet im a student 2nd year high school can only use the pc on weekends ill post it when i find the time to do it

its a desktop

Can you do what I asked in my last post please. Your PSU is of unknown quality which usually means it is junk. I am going to have to say to get this PSU. It will it your needs of this computer just fine but can't take a higher end graphics card.

Corsair 450w

ive had this psu for a long time it works fine until that nv4_disp crash

[Carlos suarez]

i have an integrated motherboard graphics how do i enable that without removing the video card
im gonna do that heat test will post later on

It does not matter whether the PSU has worked fine or not, you really need to upgrade to something like the one Mcninjaguy suggested ASAP.

The last thing we want to hear on TSF is that your PSU has finally given out and taken the rest of your system with it.

Check the temperatures first. - You may not need to try your integrated graphics.

when desktop is idle Tj.max:85degrees c
and core #0 42degrees c
core #1 41degrees c
and i cant play any game just starcraft do i have to record temp in that 2
