Hi all
So I have been playing games happily for a while now stuff like Fallout 4 and GTAV on max settings and no issues, then recently I bought the new dying light enhanced edition used nvidia experience to optimize the game. So I started playing then after a few minutes the game crashes to desktop so I restart and a few minutes later it does it again. So after doing all the usual checks drivers, and such I finally thought is it a temperature thing. I touched the case and it was hot I unplugged everything and opened the case and inside was boiling hot the GPU which is a Evga gtx 970ftw was very hot to the touch and the air inside was very hot. So I took everything out double checked for dust there was some I cleaned it out and let it cool then turned it on again. This time dying light ran for a good few hours with no issues but then it crashed to desktop, again the case was hot so I left it to cool. Now I can play dying light a bit before it CTD but this Saturday I tried The Division beta and it last 2 to 3 minutes before an over heat caused the game to close. I have checked the core temps after a crash and they are hitting 90c and when they hit 90 the game auto closes as a safe guard, there's no dust now and I have ordered some new thermal paste but even with the paste it might take the temp down by like 6c which will still be in the high 80's. Right now I have a single fan heat sink that is on top of the CPU blowing down. I'm wondering if the GPU might be over heating also for some reason and the hot air is causing the heat sink to blow hot air onto the CPU. I also recently got a asus rog swift pg278q but the issue was happening when I was running resolution 1920x1080 and takes the same amount of time to crash at 1440p.
If anyone can suggest anything I'd be grateful because right now I'm lost for as what to do.
Cheers Karl.
