Issue
A short while after a game is launched (BF4, starcraft) screen goes black and sound is looped. I thought it was a memory issue but after re-formatting and cleaning the whole thing I am still running into the issue. Any ideas?

Specs

Windows 7
Directx11
Geforce 560 Ti - GeForce Driver 344.11 update
plenty of ram and disk space

What does event viewer say ?

Echo the Furmark test .... run Furmark till either the machine craps out of temps stop climbing

If it craps out ... run OCCT GFX test .... it tracks and graphs voltages and you can see if voltages are OK.

Is fan area clean of dust ?

Is card OC'd ?

I mean, You could remove the PCB on the card and reapply thermal paste to the card to see if that fixes the overheating issue. Just use Isopropyl alcohol 91% to clean the old material off of it. Also, Don't lose any of the many PCB screws.

580 GTX graphics cards have dropped in price at Microcenter to only $145. That would be an improvement that is not insanely expensive, and not too different from what you have now.

The card is not overclocked - the OCCT GPU test crashed it as well.
Fans are working properly.

I looked into everything mentioned above and all i got is that it just overheats now, even though it didn't a few days ago. Very likely due to my neglect of cleaning the rig as a whole.

I did everything short of reapplying thermal paste... I'd rather scrap this one then risk too much interior tinkering.

I am attempting a last ditch effort to "auto-tune" through nvidia's ntune program (saw this on another thread). If this fails I will likely be calling it a day and buying one new. I appreciate everyone's prompt responses and insight. This has got to be the best tech forum in the world... Thanks again.

Do you know off-hand if this has the same power connectors?
