so today happened this while i was playing same game that i have played for years "smite", i restarted and try playing again and after 10-20 mins same thing happened. this happened me for 4 times now is my graphics card dead? its gt 630.
Could be dead, you can try removing the heatsink, cleaning it off, applying net thermal paste and see how it runs. Also check CPU and maybe do the same there.
Sounds like a cooling issue for sure, make sure fans are working on the gpu, and try applying new thermal paste and see how it runs like hang-the-9 suggested
