I have a peculiar issue, my system which is running fine otherwise, gets stuck as soon as i play games or watch a HD movie. I tried changing Motherboards, PSU, Keyboard/ Mouse, HDD, and even the processor (Used an intel instead). But the problem persisted. My Current config:

1> ASUS M2N68T MLE V2 Motherboard.
2> AMD 7750 processor.
3> ASUS Geforce 210 Silent 0db Graphics card.

I even suspected a GPU problem. But the temperature never rises above 60 degrees, when doing some graphics intensive work. But still it gets stuck. Yesterday I applied a fresh coat of thermal paste over the Nvidia GPU processor. But still no go. There was even no signs of burning anywhere. Please help me out resolve the issue.

Note: The system plays everything fine after removing GPU though.
 
Solution

not necessarily i had plenty of broken GPUs that show desktop fine but soonas they used anything more intense they failed.

Hi @esco_sid thanks for your reply, but do you think it is a prob with GPU? As I have mentioned that the system works fine with the GPU on, but it wont let me play the games. If there would have been an issue with the GPU, the system would not have shown me the desktop isn't it?
