So basically as the title states i believe my computer is overheating,
So before anything else,
SPECS:
Mainboard: MSI NF725M-P31 w/ integrated nvidia geforce 7025 VGA
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 250 3.0 ghz
GPU: EVGA GTX 650 Ti Boost Superclocked 2gb vram
DRAM: 2x Apacer 2gb 800 MHZ
PSU: ISO 500PP 450W
(yes don't laugh at the poor poverty stricken 20 year old who can't afford a better pc i know i need one.)
I have been using this setup for 3 years with no issues.
DETAILS:
Problem i am experiencing is my PC randomly restarting when gaming, sometimes i can play for about an hour and a half before it restarts sometimes barely 10 minutes and it restarts.
Of course like any DIY guy i googled for answers and basically all i could get was, Faulty PSU, Overheating, or Drivers conflicting.
As of today i have ruled out the faulty psu and driver conflicting (via reinstalling windows and only installing neccessary crap).
Reason why i believe it is my integrated VGA is well simply because i open up my pc and check everything to feel whats hot and every time my pc restarts my integrated vga is finger burning hot even with my on-board vga disabled in the bios its still generating more heat than any other part of my pc for some reason.
I have used Open hardware monitor to check temps and the temps look good for everything else,
CPU sits at about 24-29C at max when gaming (have a nice cpu cooler),
GPU Sits at between 60-75C when gaming under 100% load,
I've checked my event log/checked for dump files, event log only traces one real problem everytime: Session "Microsoft-Windows-Setup" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D as for dump files none are created which is one of the reasons i believe the overheating is the problem,
People have recommended i disable automatic restarting in-hopes of letting the pc create a dump file then to no avail only thing that happens is my computer freezing and the audio going crazy with stutter.
