Yesterday, i was playing Rust on my PC with some friends, then my second monitor
said "No signal detected" and my other screen (The one i was playing the game on) froze, requiring me to have to hard-shut down the PC.
At first i thought it was just the one game freezing, then tried some others and they also froze. I've not had this problem before, i've searched the internet for answers but can't seem to find anything.
I have tried re-installing my drivers, and running Anti-malware software, (And still freezing), which makes me think that it might be a hardware problem?

EDIT: My PC also seems to get quite hot while streaming videos, any solutions?

I downloaded HWMonitor, and checked CPU temps but said it was at 60+ degrees while I wasn't running anything except that program itself, and i felt my pc case and it didn't seem to be to be that hot, is that normal?

My specs are:
Asus GTX 750ti (Factory OC'd)
AMD A10 7850k (Stock cooler)
8Gb ram (Not sure what brand,)
500w PSU (Again, not sure what brand)
GA-F2A78M-HD2 Motherboard

Any help would be appreciated!
 
Solution
60+C is very hot for idle temps.

It's possible your thermal paste has worn out.

Thanks for the reply, is it worth getting a whole new CPU cooler? I've heard that the stock cooler on AMD cpu's aren't the best.ew
 


Eh, it depends how much of a problem your heat is, you'd have to determine if it's really the problem or not. But yeah, a new CPU cooler "could" help.
