I actually upgraded the Smart Doctor and it hasn't done it since. Maybe it was the lower version that had problems with it, I think when i get the new fan and new PSU that im going to be able to overclock it

try running a game or 3dmark to see if there's any artifacts......i believe that the Smart Doctor is screwing up

for temperature monitoring, i suggest u use nvidia forceware or use a tool called rivatuner

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. I have a 6600GT (BFG) and I don't know which version of Forceware has it but the latest one definately has Temperature Monitoring in the Nvidia settings.

I want to also ask a question...what's a good temperature the video cars should be. I mean I checked it from time to time, when it's idle it's at 45 Celsius and when I play MW or other games, it gets up to 55. The threshold is 145 and I want to put it lower (maybe to 60) but I can't change it.

45 degrees Celcius idle is good. I'd worry about it if it goes beyond 90 degrees loaded. A videocardtemperature is usually between the 40 degrees and 60 degrees when not loaded.
