Graphics Card is too hot to touch after turning PC on.

[caronchris347]

Ive been having issues of my screen flashing back to the desktop, and freezing the system on a black screen. I though my Graphics Card might be an issue, and after a few hours of investigation, ive discoved it gets super, super hot almost immediatly after turning thr computer on. I cannot log on, the screen blacks out and gives me a no input signal message, which is from the card over heating. (I would guess).
Any tips on the problem here?
Also, after about a minute from turning the computer on, I can smell it, how hot it is.

Thats what it looks like, but even then should the card be getting as hot as it is just from turning the computer on?

IT would as there is nothing to transfer the heat properly.

Try putting a 120mm fan on top of it.

I umscrewed my fan and have it pointef at the graphics card. It has stayed on a lot longer so there might be hope. Windows is currently attempting repairs. Updates coming.

Ok, so I noticed a larger heatsink in the PC itself, with dust all over it, used compressed air to clean that and have the fan pointing at my graphics card. It is staying on. Now however the problem is When i boot the computer, it will not let me switch off Windows Repais to start windows normally. It wont let me so im stuck ij this cycle of going to the automatic repair program, resetting and going back.

Does it give you the option to go back and restore windows to a previous time where it worked?
