First here is my rig:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H-BK
Memory: 2x4GB Patriot Viper Xtreme
CPU: i5-4670k @ 3.5 Ghz
Graphics Card: PNY Geforce GTX 660
PSU: Corsair 600W
Ever since I built my computer, the fan on the GPU would only start if I manually started it in Afterburner. Even if i was playing a game at max settings the fan would not start. Something interesting is that I am getting random temperature spikes of around 50C. I know that this temperature is not very hot at all, but when this happens my screen and audio both seize up.
At first I thought this was an issue with my drivers, and I proceeded to update them (currently on 337.88). Even after doing this I continued to have my problem.
Update: I have set a custom profile on afterburner, and with that the fan works fine, the issue now is whenever the card reaches right above 50C (as in exactly 51C) my screen freezes, and the card cools down to around 40C and works fine. After a couple of these freezes my computer completely stops working and becomes unresponsive.
