Hi, I have a gtx 760 from PNY. I have had issues with it until recently. When I play games such as Overwatch I can be in the match for like 10 minutes and then the temperature of the graphic card soars to above 100 degrees and the computer restarts. I tried cleaning the computer but the issues are still there. Should I tried checking for more dust or buy a fan for my GPU. Thank you.

Make sure you got all the dust out of the heat sink for the GPU. If you are certain you got it all, you may need to "refurbish" the card yourself. The process for this involves removing and thoroughly cleaning the old fan and heat sink, wiping off the old dried thermal paste and applying fresh, good quality paste, and in some cases you need to fix warping on the heat sink near where it attaches to the PCB.
