OK well thanks for your help and thanks for the links Ill take a look.

Don't worry it doesn't offend me, I thought as much about it after it started over heating. Would getting a new PSU definitely solve the problem or do I need another fan inside. I really do need to get one now but I just don't have the funds to buy any of the one's you recommend, would this be sufficient for the short term http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/highpower-atx500wpc-atx-psu-500w-07843207-pdt.html or this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-062-OP&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

Hi and thank you for the swift reply. I have two internal fans and they work perfectly and are dust free as I clean the inside regularly. The PSU is a JeanTech atx 400W sorry if that's not the info your after, that's all I see written on the box. I was thinking I should have gone for the 500W one, I may buy a new 500W one but the ones I see all have the fans facing upwards against the top of the case which I presume would make it hot and hinder the air coming out of the case, would that not be bad.

I recently bought a new graphics card (GeForce GTX 550 Ti) and so I had to upgrade my PSU to a new 400W one. Now when ever I play graphic demanding games such as Skyrim, Fable 3, Gothic 4 the PSU gets very loud and very hot, blowing very hot air out the back. I'm a bit worried this may cause damage to my computer in the long run so would it be best to get a new 500W PSU with a better, bigger fan, the fan in my current new one is very small and doesn't seem to have much air flow, its in the middle of it not near the edge of the case, may this be the problem. Any help/feedback is much appreciated. System specs: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 3.00GB RAM Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB 400W PSU
