nooby problems

[jimbo]

Gday, hope every1 had a good chrismas. I got a problem with the new system. Its only been a month and i already got a bluescreen error then auto reboot... i browse around, did some system checks havent specifically got an insight in what the problem is. I also notice under device manager that the
6to4 network adapter is not working(exclaimation mark).
Ran GPU-Z, core temp and rivatuner for temp check and notice the temps are much higher than when i first put the system together with XP (im now using vista).
before the gpu-z was running in the mid 30*C ,now its at high 40s for the GPU temp. The PCB temp use to be around 30s, now mid 40s.

are these teperatures normal?

Also, i tried to run atitool which i did could before but not anymore. I get an error that says "the kernel mode does not seem to be running".

Sorry bout the long rant, im a noob so any advise would be helpfull. Thanks all for reading.

53C at idle is fine for a videocard temp. But what the temp under load is what really matters.

Don't know what to say about the network adapter, update the drivers, I had some issues with mine dropping every now and then and that fixed it.
