A couple days ago, I added an SSD to my computer and sprayed the dust out with some compressed air. Now, when I play a demanding game like Skyrim or fallout the TV (which I'm using as a monitor) will quickly lose input and the computer will become unresponsive and a buzzing sound will come from the speakers. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

what happens if you remove the SSD, or does it have your OS on it?

what are you temps, cpu and gpu when this occurs?

Actually, I think I may have fixed it. I opened the case back up and it looks like a power cable was getting in the way of the gpu's fan. Moved that and things seem better. If I don't come back to this thread, that was the problem.
