Hi,
I have built a new computer recently and it's been running brilliantly until I installed my old graphics card into my new computer. My graphics card is a GTX 660 and before I was using on-board graphics.

When I play Arma 3 or Garry's mod or maybe other games (I'm not sure) sometimes it happens after about 5 minutes of playing, sometimes 1 hour or more. My game suddenly starts to go really slow and the sound deteriorates, then my PC freezes because of this problem when Arma 3 or gmod is running, and my internet just disconnects. I then HAVE TO restart my whole computer

I don't understand why this only started happening once I've installed my GTX 660.
It only happens when I play games (at the moment them 2 in particular)

I was wondering if somebody can help me out as I'm quite concerned.

I have an intel i7 4970k
850 wat evga psu
2400 mhz ram g skill 16gb
gtx 660 etc.

either its a overheating issue or your card is failing or the hdd is failing.

so first of all check the temperatures with hwd monitor of both the card and the GPU.

if the temps are fine then do a chkdsk for your hdd.
