I have a self-made computer and it's about 3 years old. I usually play games like Civilization V and Skyrim. My brother also plays NBA 2K14. The computer barely crashes nor lags. I always run at the highest graphics settings (unless its Battlefield 4) with no problem. For about 3 months now in the middle of playing games my fans start spinning real fast and sooner or later if I don't turn down my graphics the monitor turns off. Also, my fans go really really really fast and I have to force quit the computer. The reason I think it's related to graphics is because of 2 reasons.
1, On some games if I play at low graphics my computer doesn't crash or takes longer before it crashes.
2. When I click on the little flag you see at the system tray (bottom right of your screen for windows 7) it says there's a problem with NVIDIA Geforce.
Also here are my computer specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 580
64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.30GHz
