Like the title says i get no signal after a couple minutes of gaming in this case World Of Tanks. High settings

i checked all the screen cables and those are fine my PC is a custom build by me with the specs :
X4 640
XFX 7770 Double Dissipation
Antec High Current Gamer 400W PSU
Ballistix 4GB ddr3 1600Mhz ram 1x4GB
Asrock n68 vs3 ucc Motherboard

Kinda a cheap build but enough for me.

But back on the topic i get no signal after a couple miites of gaming. like i sayed i checked the cables and those are fine. when the screen gets no signal ( Samsung Syncmaster S24B350) i shut of the pc and reboot it and then i got display.

stunningly i did a Furmark benchmakr and at idle my card runs about 30-35Degrees with fan speed 50%

after 195Secs of Furmark Benchmark the Gpu already went to 74 Degrees ! and stopped the test for safety reasons.

i bought the card on 31 december 2012 and has 2 years of warranty so i got a couple months left.

but is it the card, i think its not normal to go in 195 sec from idle 30-350 degrees to 74 degrees

here are some pictures of Idle Furmark settings and the 195 benchmark

i have called the store where i bought it and i got 1 problem. i feel like its the graphics card that is overheating.

but if i send the card to them it can take up to 3-4 weeks to replace it but they will first test it their self. if they conclude that the card is working after 1-2 hours of testing i need to pay research costs. but the card is still under warranty period right ? so why do i need to pay research cost if i feel the card is broken and overheating to much. im not planning to pay research costs because i am broke at this moment

Sorry for the double post !

i didnt wanted to void the memory and either didnt want to pay research costs. i modifyed a screwdriver with sanding paper and made it as smal as the screwss of the fan where. i took the both fans out and brushed with a fine paint brush the dust out if it . its running idle at 28-29 degrees at 20% fan speed. while before it runned 30-35 with 50% fan speed idle. im gonna do some furmark after and some gaming to test to be sure.
