Hi Toms, i have a problem and I need help.
I have a MSI Radeon 7870 2GB Twin Frozr with an I5-3000(can't remember the number exactly).
My problem is that while gaming for an extended period of time (mainly playing LOL, but also during CS.GO) i can hear a loud fan-like noise coming from the case, the screen goes black and I'm forced to shut the computer down manually and reboot.
I have tried all kind of solutions: changing the power outlet, opening the case to improve ventilation, underclocking the GPU.
I even tried reproducing the situation by running a Furmark CPU+GPU for about 15 minutes and it didn't happen. It only seems to occur during longer periods of gaming / use.
Do you know what could be the problem? I think the GPU has something to do with it, but can't pinpoint what.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers.
