Help! Display shuts of when I try to play a game.

[ericlplante]

Hello, every time I try to run a game my monitors just go into power save mode and I have to manually shut off my computer. Right before this problem started happening I cleaned my GPU. It also sounds like my power supply fan is going to blow up. Help would be appreciated thank you!

GTX 560

Hi

If GPU fan(s) do not work then you can probably use PC for a while under windows ,browsing internet or using Office but playing games makes GPU work hard, get hot and switch it self off or crash

If you operate the PC with case open you will be able to see if GPU fan(s) working

The fan appears to be working just fine but I noticed the second i turn it on its starts to get really hot. I did clean it with compressed air earlier but didn't put thermal cream on it would that be the problem for its overheating within minutes of start up?
