Recently, I discovered that my GTX 760 has been running at 101 degrees C, which is absurdly high for anything especially a 6 year old GPU. I have not experienced crashing or black screens just really low fps on games.
I never renewed the thermal paste so I bought a new paste and finally did. I also re-pasted my cpu to be safe.
Now the gpu temps hit 54 degrees C, but my problem is, it now crashes. It really makes no sense to me if overheating is the problem since it still "ran" when it was still over 100 degrees C.
Running heaven by unigine crashes the PC at even the lowest settings for the benchmark, after 3-5 seconds it blacks out, then reopens with a static random color, be it white, light blue, pink, green, etc. The PC wont do anything unless I force restart it, but occasionally it restarts by itself.
Could it be my old PSU or GPU?
Everything in the PC was updated in the past 5 months except for my PSU and GPU, any help would be appreciated, thank you guys so much!
