I've been playing dota 2 and my pc always crashed. I have already removed the integrated graphic of the CPU. Can anyone give a solution here??

Likely a card issue, may be drivers or power supply but these types of things are most often a bad card.

Best thing is to test the video card in another system that can run it for a bit and see if it crashes there. Next best thing is to test another card with simlar power use in yours. That would at least rule out a video card or driver issue if that card...

not only during the game, but mostly during the game. sometimes i watch movies and it still crash (on full screen mode).
sometimes it's like the monitor will keep on restarting and sometimes the monitor will have lines of colours and weird sounds coming from my speaker and the PC will restart.

That would at least rule out a video card or driver issue if that card works fine, leaving the actual card as the most likely issue.

I've just been a member for 4 years and like to visit most of the forum sections, picked up stuff over time. Plus there all those retired badges and moderator badge which newer members can't get. I am still only 9th overall in rank.
