I just upgraded to a GTX 760 from an GeForce 9500 GT. I tried playing Saints Row The Third and let it auto-detect my display settings. I was playing it on medium and with the new card it detected that I could play on ultra. Cool. I played for less than 5 minutes and then my computer shut down and started beeping (continuous 1-second beeps). I started it up again and set the display to high. That worked for a few minutes and then the display just froze.
Any ideas what could be going on here? When it freezes or shuts down, there's a faint burning smell but I can't tell where it's coming from.
One potential problem is that because the new card is almost twice as long as the old one, it extends over the area where the sata cables connect to the motherboard. I used a cable with a 90 degree connector, but the card still sits right on top of it. Could this have anything to do with the freezing/shutting down?
