It is probably the cpu cooler, I had the same problem with the 8 core processor from amd. Have a look through the window and see if there is a fan mounted blowing down, and if it is about 80mm then that is likely to be your culprit, especially if it is mostly underload. If this is the problem...

Whether this is the cause of the problem or not may I ask what power supply you are using? This can often cause problems with new graphics cards

Are you using the right mounting hardware, I know most cpu coolers come with different versions for different sockets. Should be in the manual.

Yes you will need both 6 and the 8 pin in if your card takes 2 additional power connectors you will need both

Check the power connectors on the graphics card the additional 6 and 8 pin connectorspn the top of the card If that dosen't fix it make sure the video cable (e.g HDMI) is plugged into the graphics card nor the motherboard And can you post your psu spec if all of that dosen't work thanks

Can you check your cpu and gpu temps please.

If it is making scratching noises it sounds like it is either dead or going to die very soon. If it does boot grab as much data as you can if you have no backup.

I would say a good upgrade to a stock cooler is a hyper 212 evo they are quite cheap. I use one on my amd fx-8350 with the standard fan and it keeps the temps under 50 degrees. I would say you want your ppt eps to stay under 80 degrees when gaming, they should only go over for stress testing.

It won't outright kill the CPU however sustained high temperature can reduce the CPU's lifespan, So basically not reccommended but won't cause chip destruction When installing the card you may have knocked the cooler or somehow unseated it while installing the card

The problem would appear to be your cpu temps. Intel processors start to slow down at 95 degrees. I would suggest either reseating your cooler and if that dosen't fix it you may need an after market version. However the gpu temps seem fine.

I use hardware monitor as it gives a lot of info. Link to hardware monitor http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Have you checked your temperatures? My games used to do that because by cpu was over heating. Can you tell is both gpu and cpu temps please?

If you are looking for one under $300 then you may want to have a look at this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jUKWYtUc9Tg. It is about the only $300 build I have seen.

I would say those temps are okay haswell shouldn't reach above 80 degrees. The oly time it can go above it is during artificial stress tests. What cooler are you using? It is good if you are using a single rad unit, and I would say it is still good with a dual rad. case fans could help a little...

Depends what cpu you are using. Which one is it ?
