HI, I have an interesting problem and I believe it is the GPU (AMD 290x MSI Lighting) I begin playing a game, and I've watch its temperature on the screen, if it reaches 74c-77c the whole computer locks up. I made sure all the drivers are updated across the board, and I believe the thermal throttle limit for this card is in the 80s. The only game i can seem to play if i crank the fan speed up all the fan is Dead space 1. Its crashed on DOOM, Alien Iso and more, but was playing them fine a year ago. Plus I'll mention too I updated the OS to windows 10 in September, so last year it was Win 7 OS.
Whats going on? Also hope I put this in correct section too...
CPU: AMD A10 Richland (not over clock)
