Hi, I recently ran into a major problem with my pc. it first started with random graphical artifacts while doing anyhting on the pc, especially playing games. Also got the BSOD quite a few times. this happened for about a month and after it just switched off...When I put it on it went on for a few seconds then went off again and repeated this cycle a few times after which i have to put it off myself. I tried taking one of my Hdd's out and installed windows on the other. The pc started up fine, installed all my drivers but every game I pay runs at extremely low Fps. The pc still shuts down randomly now and then. I ran memory tests and it keeps failing. Could it be the RAM? Any ideas?

Specs:
Intel core i5 2500k 3.3Ghz
Msi GTX 580
16Gb ram
x2 2 tb WD black caviar Hdd
Msi Military class II z68 Mobo

Defiantly very hot. What cooler are you using. You may want to invest in hyper212+. 30 dollars. In the mean time, reseat and reapply thermal paste. Make sure your. Case has adequate airflow. Pull from front or side panel, exhaust tip back. May want to add fan if needed.

Case may be getting so hot, GPU is also overheating. What are GPU temps? GPU would cause the artufacts
