[Pepko]

Hello. I have big problem. I have GTX 1060 3GB with single fan. When I play like 1hour my fan randomly start loudly making noise and its stutter or give me black screen. Is it GPU or CPU problem? Thanks

It doesn't matter, just load up a game and when it start to do its own thing try to hear what causes your problem.

Check your cpu heatsink and fan for dust; if it is clogged up, the cpu isnt cooling properly and may be shutting down.

You should check this for all fans, filters and heatsinks at least every 6 months; more often if your PC is on the floor, where there is more dust to suck inside.

I clean mine using a 1" paint brush and the hoover to suck the loosened dust away, other people use compressed air, but this just blows the dust around, so it will be back to clog everything up again.
