I checked my video card's (32MB Leadtek Winfast GeForce2 Pro GTS DDR) temperature with SiSoft Sandra 2001 Pro and the results are here.
Temperature sensor(s):
- board temperature 60,0 C
- chip temperature 46,5 C
- chip fan speed 6429 rpm
The highest board temperature I've seen there was 63,0 C and chip temperature was 50,5 C. Are these results normal? I ask it because this fan turns crazy sometimes and then it spins loudly and the speed is a little above 3000 rpm. Also what are the possibilities to make it work normal all the time? There is no dust but does the fan need some oil (if yes then which sort, how much and how to put it there) or smth?
Is it possible to get this blue screen error that I wrote before because of video card's possible overheating (if it is so because of these temperatures):

Tes, lubing it can help for a short while, but that fan is going the way of the dodo.

I'm not sure about that exact error but overheating video cards can cause BSODs and other errors.
