My Dell prebuilt overheats and will eventually suddenly turn off while playing games like Bioshock Infinite and Saints Row IV. Speccy shows a graphics card temperatures of 90 degrees Celsius within seconds of playing, CPU is around 50 degrees. I can hear a fan making a loud noise while this is happening. Computer runs quiet and cool when doing anything other than gaming.
Specs are:
*i7 4790 3.60 GHz
*16 GB DDR3
*Dell motherboard 0KWVT8
*AMD Radeon R9 270 2GB
*460W Dell AC460EM-00 power supply
*2TB hard drive
Any idea what the problem is? I’m not sure how to tell if a fan is not performing, or if it’s a graphics card fault. I’m looking to upgrade in the near future so if a solution is just to upgrade graphics card/power supply then I’m happy with that. Inside the case and all fans are clean as far as I can tell. Thanks
