Recently, my graphics card has been overheating and causing my computer to crash whenever I do anything that causes a significant load on the card.
For example, the card will overheat when playing most computer games or using bitcoin-mining applications, but will NOT overheat when watching HD video with a GPU-accelerated video player, or when playing low-intensity games like Doom.
I'm not sure what's going on- I haven't changed any part of my system since I built it, and this just started happening. My computer will crash to a black screen, and any audio playing will loop into a buzzing noise.
