Windows 7 - HIS Radeon HD 6670 after processor overheat |

HIS Radeon HD 6670 after processor overheat Now, my graphic card's fan is at a constant 39%, when idle or gaming.
It seems to play games worse now, after my CPU overheated and my computer froze.
For example, I was playing Need for Speed World on Maximum settings at around 30FPS. Then my entire computer froze, and I had to shut it down by holding the power button for a few seconds. When I tried to start it back up, nothing appeared on the screen. My father took a look at it, and he said my processor overheated. So he cooled it down by removing it (I think) and got it working again. But now, the GPU fan speed is constantly 39%, and it plays games worse now. Need for Speed World at Max settings now plays at about 16 FPS.
I need Professional help.

Normally on an Intel chip it will auto shut down to keep from burning up, i would make sure the video card was seated good and all the wires were on tight, then reinstall the video drivers for your card. Just a few things to check before having to replace anything. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 730 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit CPU Intel Core 2 quad Extreme Q9770 @ 3.2 GHz Memory 4x2 GB Muskin 1600 MHz ram Graphics Card NVidia GTX 250 Sound Card Soundblaster X-Fi Fatality Champion Monitor(s) Displays 2 Dell 2007WFP Ultrascans Screen Resolution 3360 x 1050 Keyboard MS Natrual Keyboard Pro Mouse Logitech Wireless Trackball PSU 1000 Watt Cooling air Hard Drives WD Black 1TB sata, 2-WD Black 500 sata, 2-Seagate 500 Go external Internet Speed DSL Elite |

The first thing I would look into is why the cpu overheated. Even with the auto shut down in Intel chips damage can be done. Have you overclocked this computer?

If computer froze, it probably crashed, if crashed maybe some software or settings got changed. Usually hardware works or it doesn't. Now, if you took CPU out and put it back without applying paste or it is not properly seated, that could keep it running hot and throttling back.
As far as GPU goes, if it runs slower then there is less heat, then fan won't go above idle which it seems that 39% is.
You should run some programs to check temp, frequency and other stats for CPU/GPU to find where the problem is first. | My System Specs | | |

Check system configuration and see how many cores are set. Natively windows, on multicore cpu's defaults to one.

Nope, didn't work. But my computer seems to be going faster. I'll enjoy that
Just to make it clear, which part is the problem? Is it the GPU itself, the CPU, or even the motherboard? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 560 OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Pentium Dual-Core E5700 @ 3.00GHz Motherboard Dell 018D1Y Memory 6GB DDR3 Graphics Card HIS ATi Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 1GB Sound Card Integrated Monitor(s) Displays HP 2009m Screen Resolution 1600x900 Keyboard Logitech MK320 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Combo Mouse Logitech MK320 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Combo PSU Cooler Master 500W Case Dell Inspiron 560 Case Hard Drives ST3750528AS

Re apply the Thermal paste with Arctic Cooling MX 2 on your CPU & GPU after cleaning the heatsink & the processor/ GPU Chip.
Apply in very little quantity in the middle of the chip. Make sure you don't apply it like butter.
Re seat the heatsink & connect the heat sink fan. Power up your system & You should see lesser temps than the one above.
I did the same for my Gateway Netbook.
The temperature dropped from 60 degrees to 34 C in Idle.
Now it maxes out at 54 degrees. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Assembled Desktop PC, HTPC OS Windows Vista Home Premium x86, Home Premium x86 CPU Intel Pentium 4 3.00Ghz with HT, Intel P4 2.8Ghz Motherboard Intel Original D865GBF, GA-81915-ME-C Memory 2x512 MB DDR 400Mhz, 2x1GB DDR 400 Mhz Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD3650 AGP 8x, Zotac GT 430 DDR3 Sound Card SoundMAX Digital Audio AD1985, Diamond Xtreme 7.1 24Bit Monitor(s) Displays SONY BRAVIA KLV-19T400A , KLV-32V300A Screen Resolution 1920x1080, 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech iTouch Combo, Logitech di Novo Mini Bluetooth Combo Mouse Logitech PSU FSP Saga II 500W, FSP Saga II 400W Case Lancool K-62 DragonLord, Lian-Li v351 Hard Drives Hitachi HDT721010SLA360 (1TB SATA 150)

I'm really sorry about the late response.....
I'm not sure that I can do what you said. I'm not THAT old, you know.
I still live with my parents, and I get nervous when I ask them about my computer.
My dad is AMAZING at computers, so its really intimidating to ask him about that stuff.
Maybe the next time he goes to New York (about once every 1-2 months) | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 560 OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Pentium Dual-Core E5700 @ 3.00GHz Motherboard Dell 018D1Y Memory 6GB DDR3 Graphics Card HIS ATi Radeon HD 6670 DDR3 1GB Sound Card Integrated Monitor(s) Displays HP 2009m Screen Resolution 1600x900 Keyboard Logitech MK320 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Combo Mouse Logitech MK320 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Combo PSU Cooler Master 500W Case Dell Inspiron 560 Case Hard Drives ST3750528AS
