Why has this nvidia warning started to pop up now and then?

Hi,

If I remember, I built the core of my system back in August 2005 and I have had no problems until recently. When playing a game I'd be forced out of it with this message from nvidia...

"To protect your hardware from potential damage or causing a potential system lockup, the graphics processor has lowered its performance to a level that allows continued safe operations"
Click to expand...
Spec is here (System 1).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance :)
 
So I hit the windows key to leave the game, seems to be levelling off at 74C and the message popped up and UT2004 still ran ok even through the performance was lowered.

Surely 74C is within safe operation?
