Well my computer knowledge isn't as good as most on these forums, so i was hoping for a little aid 
First problem. My pc is overheating, a lot. If i'm just running say, irc, msn, media player and internet explorer, theres no problems at all, runs smooth, stays cool. However when i boot up DAoC, one or two accounts (same machine) i'm finding that after about an hour it overheats and shuts down. Atm i've got 2 fans inside the PC, and the side off with a big fan blowing in as well to keep the temperature down.
The obviously solution i'd guess would be a third fan but i've no idea what i do about getting that sorted.
Second problem. This one seems to occur more frequently when i'm dual logging. I'll be out doing whatever in DAoC and then suddenly i'll drop to <1 fps and graphics bugs ensue. All the textures become distorted. Going to task manager normally sorts it, as it says Not Responding, and then changes to Running. While this works for the first or second time, after that my pc will just totally lock up, and the blue screen with writing ensues, meaning i have to reboot my PC = very irritating in the middle of rvr.
Anyone have any ideas how i can sort these problems please?
