Video crashes

Every few days, no matter what I'm doing, I get a video crash. This is especially
distressing when I am involved in online multiplayer gaming.
I'm running an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS with XP Home SP 3 on an AMD Athlon 64x2 and
2 GB RAM. I've updated drivers, cleaned all the fans and reseated the card. My quality
setting is Let Application Decide. Any suggestion?

Still sound like an overheating problem to me, have you enough space in your case
to try and re route cables etc to give a better airflow, This may sound silly but
giving your case internals a good going over with a vaccum cleaner can sometimes
help especially around the processor heatsink, (make sure you use the brush attachment
if you have one), other wise you may have to resort to adding or upgrading your internal
fans

Probably the video card is overheating. That cpu typically runs fairly cool, but
that video card tends to run very hot. My previous video card was the same one, and
after it was about about a year and half old, it did the same thing. I had to replace
it.
