Just wondering if anyone knows why my computer would be crashing to a black screen, the sound completely stutters if I'm listening to anything, but in a way that you wouldn't be able to make out what it was, just random sound stutter. Then the computer crashes to black and it restarts. I think it might be the power supply, but I'm not sure, it's been doing this for a week or two now, computer is going slower and slower after every crash, but it only crashes when I load too much up. (Sometimes I can watch youtube, but not in full screen anymore, I can facebook, but not even play games on there.)

Is this a PSU issue? Should I replace it?


Just checked my GPU and it's running around 96C. If I'm not mistaken, that's bad for a GT220 1GB since it's basically idle with a 10 - 20% usage and 100% fan speed.

Is this an Acer? sounds like heat issue caused by bad paste.

It's a Cyberpower PC, I've had it for a couple years now, it's had issues before.
Might get some compressed air to see if it needs cleaning.
The outside case isn't warm at all, but the gpu says it's running very hot.

Shows the CPU temps are alright.. I think.

Temp1: 35C
Temp2: 29C
Temp3: -128C
HD0: 33C
Core: 24C

GPU is currently 70C.
I'm watching it for the next crash.
It did go up to about 107 or so before it crashed a bit ago.
I've had issues with the GPU overheating a few years back too.
Going to try to get some compressed air tonight and if that doesn't work.. Well, I'm hoping you could give me some suggestions.

CPU Usage is going from 20 - 100% back and forth.
All I'm running is Facebook, this, and Youtube on google chrome with speedfan & Evga precision to monitor heat.
CPU always seemed to run high though. Nothing new there.

2443 Memory Available, 1375 Memory Free.

This is the computer I've had since May 2010, I know it's old.


GPU heat is slowly going up.
Was 70, but now after a bit, it's slowly going up to 85+
