    Hey guyz, I just played an hour of crysis 2 MP online at all the three graphics mode : gamer , advanced and hardcore.

    However the prob is that i hit 99C in all three sensors in GPU-z. I think my GPU fan is not working properly and hence the prob. I cant hear any noice from my fan hence i am deducting to this conclusion.

    Can you please help me out with the fan issue.

    First of all I would try to shutdown, power drain and then restart again... if it doesn't help it could be something more serious... fans not working isn't good at all.

    Power drain: unplug the ac adapter, press and hold down the power button (alienhead) for about 20 seconds, put the battery back, the ac adapter too and then start your system.
