werid green squares kept popping up in games. I fianlly decided to open the computer up and lord and behold the video card around the fan had alot of dust.

So thats my advice dust off the inside of your comptuer once in awhile and performance wil be ALOT better. One day I stopped by the local dealer for computer parts and he said he wanted to show me something. He repairs a lot of computers. I don't remember what make and model is was now, but the CPU heatsink was a solid block of dust. There was just a recess for the fan in that pile of dirt. The video card had already been pulled out and I don't remember what that was either, but it was not the kind most of us on here use (they didn't have to bolt the computer to the floor to keep the fans from moving it) At any rate, I had never seen a CPU so well insulated that survived, but that one did.
