Alright, while not really a quality unit, it still has plenty of power for your system.
How about your temps?
Please use GPUz and Realtemp to post your idle and load temps.

I looked at the MB and I looked at the video card. Everything about it screams HEAT. The NB could use direct air flow. Bet that heat sink gets hot as the sun. The video card looks like it has issues with heat just sitting there. Saw pic with the cover off of it. The MB is extremely small and components are close together. Try playing with the side off the case and put a fan on it to see if it helps. The processor may also be getting hot. Very close quarters.

test your hardware

Yes, start with the basics and eliminate possible problems as you go.
Test your RAM using Memtest, CPU with prime95 and GPU with FurMark.
Let the tests run for a while to be sure there are no issues.
While testing with the above, keep an eye on your temps and post those load temps back.

i tried with another heat sink which has much higher speed than the current heat sink fan but there is no change...


so please suggest me another alternative

Have you tested the CPU, RAM and GPU yet?

 

[hitman1391]

yes you were right when i tested ram using memtest it was showing hundreds of errors
