My personal computer is constantly crashing after a certain period of time and upon restarting throws me the Windows Alert popup saying "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown".
It all started after a hardware change from an integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics 4400 GPU to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti and from an integrated Power Supply to HKC USP-5550 in order to supply enough power for the said GPU. I'm pretty certain the issue isn't in voltage, rather than in GPU temperature. Reason being, I've taken some time to observe the surrounding circumstances right before the crashes occur and it seems to always happen when the GPU temperature reaches 65 degrees Celsius. To be exact, the last logged temperatures right before the crash peak at 64 degrees so I can only assume 65 is the upper limit right before the PC proceeds with immediate shutdown to protect the hardware. That, however, doesn't really make any sense to me, since based on the nvidia website, this particular GPU should have a temperature limit of 100. I've tried multiple methods of just keeping the temperature bellow 65 and it's worked so far and prevented any further crashes but even with regular hardware cleanups (blowing out dust and anything of a similar sort), it's becoming harder and harder to keep the temperature down. Are there any solutions to my problem? Should I invest into more cooling fans/other similar hardware or is there a way of increasing this "limit"?
I appreciate any kind of help and I hope this issue can get resolved somehow...
p.s. The GPU doesn't enter throttling mode, which should slow down the computer in order to drop the temperature, right before crashing. The PC just suddenly turns off without any warning and reboots.
p.p.s. Actually, the upper temperature limit seems to have "dropped?" to 62 now, whereas the moment it reaches 63 degrees, my PC proceeds to reboot. I'm not exactly sure how this is even possible since I haven't been tampering with these settings in any way (I don't even know how).
