while gaming at high resolution the system crashes. a complete shutdown. checking the GPU temperatures at this time they are 100. games play normally for sometimes hours before this happens sometimes minutes before a crash. idle the GPU sits on roughly 60 degrees and 60% fan speed. Ive cleaned all the dust from the computer with same problems. CPU temps are fine and hardly heat up when at load.
Oddly at high resolutions there isnt a drop in FPS until the crash happens where i get a jerky like effect while still measuring high FPS. im guessing its a hardware fault. the fan can be heard at all times as noisy.
the games ive been playing are starcraft 2 and counter strike global offensive. both can actually be played with moderate FPS using the intel integrated 3000 graphic adapter (on the i5 chip).
this has started happening after i bought a new monitor (2560x1440) though.. could the cause be too much for the card to handle? or maybe a faulty card?
any thoughts?
these are my specs:
i5 2500k
8gig ram ddr3
asus p87series mb
radion 6870 (xfx)
