Hey everyone, let me preface this by saying I know very little about computers and would appreciate not so much high-end tech talk, haha. In other words, if you could dumb some things down for a newbie, that would be great.
My computer started to randomly shut off when I started playing games a few months ago and I'm finally getting around to solving this issue.
I recently opened my event viewer after one of these episodes and it said my computer shut down due to graphics card overheating.
I have an ATI Radeon HD 4800 series and Windows 7. I ran a temp check and my graphics card was extremely hot (like 96 degrees Celsius hot). I have cleaned the dust out and there is no dust clogging the fan.
So my questions are what kind of fan can I install to cool this graphics card? And do you guys know of a simple how-to video or something to show me the correct way to do it?
Attached is a screenshot of the program I used to see how hot my computer was. Thank you for all of your help in advance.
