So recently I got a new graphics card (gtx 950). I installed it and everything seemed fine until i tried to run Minecraft and the Monitor goes black. This happens about 5-10 mins into playing and is really annoying. When playing I get around 300 fps so I can run it easily. When the monitor goes black there is no sound forcing me to do a hard restart. I installed my old graphics card so I can still play but I don't know how to fix this. here are my specs please help This problem also happens when I try to livestream for about 20 minutes with my old graphics card

16gb ddr3 ram

MSI Z1-7641 Motherboard

Amd FX(tm) 6300 Six- Core Processor, 3500mhz

Amd Radeon R7 200 series

PSU: Turbolink ATX-XG500W

Please help this is killing me

problem is AMD's often give false tempratures to temprature monitoring software so you need to relay on the bios or just touch.
how hot does the area around the gpu feel or just the gpu itself. what about the air coming out of the system? make sure you test this while mine craft is running.
