Kind of a long story, please bear with me
I bought a PNY GTX 570 around 2 and a half years ago, I read that I didn´t really need cooling so I never bought any, I just had 1 small fan that came with the casing, even then I kept the casing open most of the time out of fear of this happening.
About 1 or 2 months ago, I changed the GPU with a ECS GTX 580 of a friend that is just as old as my GPU, and now it died, it was taken to a LAN party and after that it started having issues, shutting down randomly after displaying a blue screen while I played the new Wolfenstein game, I connected it using a different output of the GPU and it stopped for about a week but then, while watching videos on youtube, I got another blue screen, except this time the computer now just reboots before loading the desktop while showing garbled graphics, I tried it on another computer and it did the exact same thing
I was told that it overheated and that I can pay for it to be taken trough a process called "reballing" so that it may work again
So I have a couple of questions, can this process work? and if it does, what kind of cooling can I use for my computer or GPU so that this does not happen again to this or any other GPU I might buy in the future? is that even necessary? or did the GPU just run its course?
