Hello

I recently got back into computer gaming and started playing an old game I use to enjoy called "Combat Arms" Well after cleaning my Computer up both physically and threw software I started playing said game- as soon as I launch the game my Graphics Card starts climbing, steadily, in temperature until it reaches over 81 degrees Celsius and prompts a shut-down. My display Driver will crash and I'll get a black screen until I reboot my computer to idle desk-top. The game is quite old and has never given me problems in the past- even when I played it on a much weaker cards. Any reason why a Graphics Card would climb in temperature under even light gaming load?

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CPU: Intel Core i5 4590 @ 3.30GHz
RAM: 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1.6GHz
GPU: 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 (ZOTAC brand)
PSU: 500wat Power Supply
MOBA: mATX B85M-HD3 (SOCKET 0) by Gigabyte.

That's the system requirements for the game^
 
Solution
not sure what you can do now.
perhaps take it out, and clean all the dust away with canned air and then reinstall. making sure all the power is connected properly. check inside.
if still not working perhaps use software like msi afterburner to see if you can engage the fans by using a custom fan curve. hope that helps you out.
