Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
Specs:
It was fine at first but then it started crashing when I play Terraria or Saint's Row IV. It's fine running any other games, even games way harder to run than Terr. I've tried playing around with the GFX card clock speeds and I can make it last longer that way but eventually the game crashes and then everything open crashes and nothing will reopen and all text on the screen goes fuzzy until I reboot. Then it blue screened a few times saying uncorrectable hardware error 0x00000124.
Today the computer was making a scratchy noise. I restarted it and it froze on the screen where it says press del or F4 to enter the BIOS.
I rebooted. The scratchy noise is gone but now every time I turn it on it won't let me into the BIOS and it freezes on a black screen after the screen that says press del to enter BIOS.
I checked everything's plugged in inside.
Can't reach the BIOS battery because it's under the GFX card but I can take it out if I need to but I don't think it'll help because I didn't change the BIOS before this happened.
Sorry if this is long winded or badly worded, please help me if you can.
EDIT: The GFX card was a gift from my bf and fine before he took it out of his PC so no reason not to trust it.
Can't even turn it on so can't download anything etc.
The bf is gonna comment soon because he knows more than I do.
Also forgot to mention, every time it crashes the temperatures are always completely fine and low.
