My sister is having problems with the computer that is used mostly by her. The computer video keeps cuting out and then the whole system stops function. From what I have deduced the problem is being caused by the video card, which I think might be over heating for some reason. I ran some test with Norton Diagnostics and when I tried to run the video test the system crashes. Also the system is more likle to crash when room tempeture is higher than 74* F, and if when it is warm if one resets the computer right afyer the computer has crashed, it will sometimes give a beep code and not boot. I am wondering if my presumption is correct, that the video card is failing, or if there is something else worng with the computer that I am not thinking of. And by the way, here are most of the specs. on the computer that my sister uses.
