Computer Black Screen

[BalboBiggins]

Whenever i play a hi-Res game for about 15 minutes, the monitors just turn black then play a constant buzzing sound. I then have to hard reset the computer with the power button. Shortly after, i get the error recovery screen. i have had this problem for about 3 months and do not know what to do or who to call.

what do you really mean by this--- ''Whenever I play a hi-Res game '' if its the display settings then be sure that there supported set your refresh rate to whats native for the monitor. [3 spots to check settings monitor, os , and card.] if one part don't support a setting your using if could be the issue[???]

I mean that whenever i play a game like tf2 that has not had a problem until 3 months ago, it black screens then i have to restart

ok well then you said this--- the monitors just turn black then play a constant buzzing sound--- is it the monitor that buzzes ? also if you used like gpu-z and have it log wile your playing then when it shuts down and you have to re boot you can check that log for thing like the cards temp and voltage and see what the cards stats were at the time it quit so if it shut down and you check the log and it shows the last reading it real hot then you can say its over heating or lost voltage what ever and shutting down

I do not believe it is the monitor but i will try the GPU-Z program

What should i do. My CPU Temp is at about 68C and know that is not a good temp.

it just may have went bad theres just a lot of thing to check monitors fail like any computer part but do that gpu-z and see were it goes..

So i went an played Batman Arkham Origins and after it crashed i had checked the log. the results are about right before it "crashed"

Whats your GPU?

 

[BalboBiggins]

Sorry to sound dumb, but how would i find the gpu. i am not the greatest computer wizard.

1) Click on the start button
2) Search for CMD
3) Open CMD (A black command box should pop up)
4) type in: dxdiag
5) Allow it to connect to the enternet if it needs.
6) a new window should pop up, on the top of the window there are tabs, one is called display
7) click on that tab (display) and the name of your GPU should be under the device tab, next to Name.

 

[BalboBiggins]

It is Nvidia GeForce GT 530

It is Nvidia GeForce GT 530

Most likely the card its self is failing, you can try to install the drivers, but I would suggest looking for a new GPU.

104c on that card seems too hot to me that card tto me should be around 65-72c [??] looks like at 104c its looking to shut down .. is dust chocking the coolers of your card or cpu? your heat seems too high..

O God, I didn't even see the temps.....that's really high.....thats 219.2F. Try taking out the card and using a duster (air canister) to clean out the dust.
