When I access the graphics card with a software to diagnose its temperature, my computer restarts. Does this mean my graphics card is broken? or is it to do with the Software.
Any help would be appreciated.
 


I'm using PC Wizard and it has restarted last 2 times when it was scanning for my computer components right when it got to scanning the video card it restarted. But it has been happening for a long time now, when i'm playing video games or just on the internet
 


My PSU is 600W and the video card is a small one it doesn't use an extra power cable.
