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 3 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 Ge-force.
3.When log in, for about 10 secs my monitor is black, then it brings me to the desktop

Also here are my computer specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate
8 GB RAM
NVIDIA Ge-force GTX 580
64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.30GHz

I checked my temperature and saw just on the web it was at 58 C. Then I loaded up Skyrim and when it was near crashing I checked my temp and it was about 91 C

(Maybe if i waited a bit longer I could've got a higher temp)
Also when it was 91 C, the computer fans were going very fast
I checked my fan speed while gaming and it was about double the speed when we browsing

Can someone help me because this has been very annoying and its stopping me from playing my favourite games

What was 91C - your graphics card? That's too hot.

Blow your case out - especially fans, filters and coolers. raise all your fan rpms. Try again.

Tell us your cpu temp and your gpu temp.
