So I changed my GPU short time ago and ever since I got a serious issue.
GPU overheats where the old one did not, after a while it goes to security and I get a black screen while PC still runs.
While monitoring with speedfan it looks like it shutts off at around 65C which is I beleive far from been HOT.
I changed the drivers but it remains the same I have off course cleaned up the all thing but still.....
Lowering preset dont work either.......
May I just add that it happens also on other GPU demanding games.
Is it a evga product? If so I would suggest precision x program
I have opened my case so more air can enter it...otherwise my processor goes through the roof...
I had a similar issue with a Galaxy 465 a few years back.
Returned it to the provider and they ran tests on it and came back saying it was performing as it should.
Clearly wasn't the case. Furtest would happily cause it to overheat and shutdown.
Solution I found (while not the best) was to download third party software that will allow you to control your graphics card fan speed.
Turning this up higher by default (or changing the behavior for different temperatures) could mean all the difference for you.
Cheers Blutt I am gone do just that IT at work advise me to do so too. But it could also be the RAM... I will start by testing with another GPU from work if it works i shall then return my GPU to the shop
If it was RAM you would be getting Blue Screens, not black ones.Quote:

Have you checked the airflow to your case? Also are you running static pressure fans?
It may make things easier to rectify if you provide us with your exact GPU model as safe temperatures vary quite a bit from generation to generation, also the make and model of your motherboard may help too :)
