I just upgraded my computer this week it has a new motherboard ( Asus B85M-E), processor (i5 4670), graphics card (Asus Geforce Gtx 650) and new ram (2 sticks of 4 gigs).

I also just installed windows 8.1 (64 bit) and updated my graphic card driver to 332.21 (latest driver).

The problem is that every time I play a game whether Battlefield 4, Day Z standalone, Skyrim, Counterstrike source, Counterstrike: Global offensive the screen turns black within 5 minutes of actual game time (faster if its a "more advanced game" like Battlefield 4). Then my monitor loses connection then goes back to desktop sometimes saying the driver crashed and recovered. This normally tends to crash the games as well (except skyrim and counterstrike).

Also just before it crashes (like half a second before) I hear a fan (dunno which one yet) go overtime (becomes really loud).

I checked the idle temperature of my graphics card and its at 60 degrees Celsius which is higher than normal.

I have reinstalled my driver multiple times and tweaked the power management mode. None of these past solutions has helped

Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

No, actually the reccomended is a 400 W or superior PSU
