Recently I started getting this while mining some cryptocurrency, what could it mean?

I’m using GTX 650ti, windows 10, amd athlon 4x 860k

After this computer restarts and works as it worked again.

That looks like artifacting. Is that while mining or when you boot into desktop? You should know that mining puts stress on your components to the point of breaking.

It’s while mining, yes, I understand that my components are being stressed out. What I’m saying is how could I avoid this artifacting, as you say?

No solution. Your PC can only do so much at one time. Your Athlon 4x 860k isn't a bad CPU, but it is based on the Steamroller architecture of 2014 and you are asking too much of it. Sorry!

So it’s my cpu crashing, not gpu?
