Its only about 80 degrees F. in my room, and my video card is idle at about 54 Celcius, and on load it can hit up to about 75 before my system crashes. i can tell my card gets too hot because the artifacts in the game go crazy. huge bunched up textures flipping out in the corner of a map or something. now i remember about a year ago when i built my computer the box temp was able to get to 100 degrees F and my rooms was about 90 regualary and it ran fine. is it a video card problem or the temp in my room?

Specs : 7900GTX, amd x2 4800+, 2 gigs of ram, and a case that really has crappy airflow (aspire, looks really cool though, but i guess thats what i got for paying 50 bucks for a case.)
