My laptop has a Nvidia GEforce GT 630m. It has recently been crashing while playing games so I decided to test it. After running Furmark Burn-In test for 3 minutes it stopped working. This isn't normal right?

Is the problem that it's overheating or that the card itself is broken? How can I tell the difference? Is there any way I can fix it?

Download HWMonitor and check what temp it's running at.

Also, update the drivers.

When it crashes, its around 85 degrees C

The drivers are up to date.


Edit: I'm running it again. its been going for 6 minutes so far. 95 degrees C now hasn't crashed yet. I'll let you know what happens

Stable at 95-96 degrees for 10 minutes now.

Cleaned out the fan. Updated all drivers. Card still crashes or freezes randomly. What's the problem?
