Hi i've had some problems with my computer lately, When i play video games, after a while will the fps drop randomly from 100 to 9 fps and then it goes up again and then later my screen and computer freeze and i have to restart the system...

When i try to restart my computer it sometimes comes 1 long beep then 3 short ones
and nothing happens. (well all the hardware seems to be running but noting comes out to the screen)
So i have to restart my computer a few times before it will start properly again :/

I think the problem came after i tried to overclock my gpu (not my cpu) because after 2min did OCCT have to stop the GPU stress test it said that my core #0 had reached 127 degrees celsius O.O

And every time now that i start up my OCCT now it stands that there is 127 degrees constantly on the core #0 but when i open up HWmonitor it only reads 55 degrees (on load)

I would be really pleased for anyone who could help me with my problem :D

Thank you.

The Graphics card is only like 5 months old there isn't any dust in it and it never runs over 79 degrees.

So you think that I have to buy a new graphics card?
or do you think that there is another problem?

Splendid
For around 5 months, then it should still be under warranty. Contact the video manufacture and do a RMA.
Also not every component is free of defects. I had to RMA my graphic card too, which wasn't even a few months old.

I just opened up my computer now to check if the GPU was alright and to change it whit one of my old ones to trouble shoot the computer But when i removed the GPU, did i find some kind of liquid in the pci-e bracket and some of the tiny chips above the braket looked quite toasted i must say :/
The liquid had a faint smell of oil and had ran through all of the brackets underneath as well :/

Do you know what this might be?
