I have Sapphire R9 270x Toxic graphics card.

from last 30 or more days i am facing weird problem. when i use PC normally it works file like use internet,watching videos moves, listening music etc.

but when i play game problems starts from here.
after i play game 10-15 minutes my PC freezes completely with freezing audio
also on screen i can see only gray or black screen with horizontal or vertical lines.
after this freeze nothing works. only i can see is gray or black screen, with horizontal or vertical lines and also freeze audio.
nathing workers after freeze. i can only physically restart the computer.
so for me its a Graphics card problem.
so i removed the card (to send service centre) then i started PC again.
SUddenly i notice my PSU fan is not spinning. (this PSU do not have fanless operation feature its a simple PSU.) but PC started and working fine..and i can do all normal things(cant play game because card is removed).


My Question is if we are playing game then is this extremely important for PSU to spinn fan?
this freezing is graphics card's problem or PSU's problem ?
 
Solution
R9 270x need some power and if PSU fan not spinning components inside are not properly cooled and they overheating this most liekly cause your problem.
Your PSU model and brand is ?
