I was running a GeForce 550ti, a bit over a year old, and started getting a BSOD flashing by (too quick to note the hex codes), then the system restarting with all fans blaring at max speed.
Touching the top of the card it was blisteringly hot.
I assumed it was a bad card, bought a new GeForce 560ti, made sure my drivers were up to date. Same exact problem.
When I boot into Linux it works forever, I don't do any gaming on my Linux side.
In Windows it works until I start up a game, at which point it'll go for ~90 seconds before crashing with a blisteringly hot spot right over the GPU.
My power supply is rated for 500 watts, well within spec for the 550ti, and at spec for the 560ti.
Is my mainboard dying? My power supply? Or what?
Thanks!
