bugmenot1
I have an old Pentium MMX 200 (MoBo J-Mark 571B, Award Bios 4. 51 SiS 5571 Chipset) running Windows XP Pro. Every time I start up the PC, Windows installs new drivers for my secondary IDE channel, and the 2 CDROM drives on it.

Video Card Load Temperatures

BluSyko
I downloaded RivaTuner today and recorded my GPU's temperature during load while playing CS. At idle it stays below 50C, ~47C usually, with ambient being a couple degrees lower. I checked it after about an hour and my GPU's temp.

Sinluan
I'm not sure what happened but all of a sudden my OS (XP Pro) can't seem to find either my DVD player or the CD burner. Yellow exclamation marks next to each in the Device Mangler with the explanation, Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.
