Aurora freezing up with gaming

 Hello,

have had my Aurora now for 6 days. Been gaming for years on my old Dell XP^ 600, and I am not a computer novice. When I reimstalled Steam and downloaded my games, such as Left4Dead2 and Modern Warfare 2, as well as the new Black Ops, they all freeze up within 10 minutes. I know Black Ops is having it's problems right now, but my other games should play fine. I can't even Control-Alt -Delete out to the desktop, as it freezes up my entire cimputer. I have to power off and restart. My drivers are all current, including the NVidia ones. Any suggestions?

-Jeff

    Thanks, I'll check that tonight. But sometimes the games freeze up in the first minute, even at the menu screen. Not really enough time for cards to overheat.

    Cables were wedged underneath fan, power supply connectors were wrong, and the bridge had come loose. Fixed everything, will see if this resolves the problem.
