Windows 7: Possible GPU or MoBo problem?

Fanless also means less graphics power unfortunately.

I was gonna suggest you hack a fan to the fins.

Well i was thinking to, just don't know how :P
Maybe a fan like the one in the attachment, and put it under the GPU?

Yes those slot fans would work. You could attach, say, a 120MM fan to the cooler fins with zip ties with some thin rubber strips between them to keep rattling down.

Is this graphics card better for gaming then the HD5450 that i have currently?

Newegg.com - ASUS EN9600GSO MAGIC/HTDP/512M GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

I have a opportunity to buy it from a friend of mine, he used it for 2 weeks (i bought it with him), then bought a Newegg.com - ASUS ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card, and since then, the 9600 is in the box...

HD5450: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card ( 100292DDR3L)

Hiyya 46 (yep I'm a Rossi fan too) Mate I had the HD 5450 in my Sandy build but I had so much trouble with the CCC that I tried an NVidia Ge Force GTX 650 and the thing was a very different animal
ASUS GeForce GTX 650 DirectCU 1GB [ENGTX650-DC-1GD5] - $135.00 : PC Case Gear

I just can't get over the graphics with this relatively simple card.

I was put onto this one by Britton30 and he was spot on with it being what I needed.

well, i would like to have a GTX 650/550... I am thinking, maybe i can have 2 cards running 2gether

My mobo supports that operation, but i have to change my 5450 cause it doesn't support ATI crossfire...
Does anybody have a suggestion, witch two cards can i combine???

your single core Pentium 4 cpu will bottleneck GTX 650/550 cards

I know that, by upgrading my GPU i considered a new CPU (core2duo). without the new CPU, my upgraded card would be worthless.

A core 2 Quad would be a better choice if you want to keep the same board, but they are pricey if you can find one.
Amazon.com: Core 2 Quad+
