it seems as if my fans are all working properly, but i opened it once and it seemed that my graphics card was hot as hell, this is wut actually happens, i turn it on, and about 5-10 min in, it will like freeze then the monitor will shut off, and i have to manually turn it off, so idk wut it could be

does the graphics card have a fan on it that could be dead? could the heatsink on it feel a little loose?

yea, thats what i'd recommend. maybe even gently touch the fan while its on if you cant tell. usually before a fan dies it is really loud for a while. usually noticeably loud at least even with most quiet computers. usually its kind of a rubbing sound.

ok so here is the deal, i cancelled my ID because i dont have room for my comp anyway as of yet so there is no point of paying for a month i cant play, but anyways, i kept my comp open and the fan on the graphics card was indeed not running, so i took it up and there was just so much dust in the heat sink and on the fan, i just went to down on it, i put it back in the comp, it didnt start initially, i gave it a nudge and tada! its moving again, hopefully this will prove to be a solution and perhaps ill be back on soon enough

yeah so apparently this was not a solution, my comp only stayed on for about an hr, so anyway, it seems that i might just be going on a guess here and it must be the graphics card, cuz when the fan was going, the heat sink was like on fire, idk if thats really normal, so anyway i think ill just try to get a graphics card. my cousin was telling me last night that new graphics cards are pci express format only so im like dammit i need a new motherboard too, but there are still agp and pci types out there but my cousin said that they wouldnt be good, i have no idea wut to do! cuz im broke haha

your fan prob died again after an hour. the dust wouldnt have built up enough to stop the fan, the fan would have kept it clear enough for that prob (unless you had string or long hair in there too). i'd guess your fan died first, then the dust built up which hurt the dissipation of heat even more. the good news is that your fan can usually be replaced with a generic fan you purchace online for like $15-$20. Or you can still buy AGP video cards for $50 - $70. They still make em, they just dont make the brand new expensive ones in AGP usually.
Anyways let me know if you have any questions.
