	The first question is which video driver are you using. GPU computing is VERY sensitive to the driver version. Secondly, are you ove-rclocking the GPU, if so, back it down... Third have you tried other projects? What happens with MW, Collatz, or Prime Grid?

	Tell me about your PSU: How many Watts does it support? How many Amps can the 12V rail deliver? I ask because the 9500GT uses a lot less than a GTS 250 or a GTX 275. Are the 2 sets of additional power comming directly from the PSU, or are you using adapters? If you have overclocked your computer put the settings back to the default settings. Download and install the most recent drivers and restart the system. Use GPU-Z to monitor the temperatures of the card. Try leaving the case door off, to see if it makes a big improvement to temperatures. If so remove some rear brackets above and below the GPU to allow better air flow, and decide if you need another case fan. You could try to turn the fan speed up on the GPU, if you know what you are doing.
