Hello everybody. I hate to be this guy, as I generally pride myself in being able to discern what my particular computer problem is, and swiftly stomp it out. However, this particular problem eludes me, and I feel it is in part due to my laziness.
I am frequently crashing while playing games. I mean "a matter of when, not if" frequent. And it's not a crash to desktop crash, it's a "No Signal Found" on my monitor, computer completely shuts off kind of crash. And it happens when I'm playing games. So obviously I think it's my GPU overheating. But even with the side of my case open and a fan blowing directly on the guts of my system, I still get it, though less frequently. So I still suspect overheating, but I just don't know. Any ideas?
Also, yes, I've updated my drivers, no I don't know what my temps are when it crashes, and I don't know how to read crash logs.
Finally, the specs.
CPU: AMD X3 720 running @ 2.81GHz per core.
Memory: 4GB
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6770
If you need any other info let me know.
