Hi
I am here with a very serious problem. The problem i'm facing is whenever i play any hi-end modern game with high-ultra settings my computer shuts down automatically or should i say it just shuts off and doesnt restart. Earlier i thought it would be some driver issue but when i took off my cabinet and ran it and played some games like black ops and dmc it did fine for couple of minutes and then the same story it went off and instantly i touched my graphics card and it was damn hot it almost burned my hand (lol). I don't think my card is failing somewhere i doubt it could be my smps/psu but probability is there maybe my card is failing too. anyway thought maybe i can get some help from all of you guys so i am here. please help. I put 5770 and it worked fine and got no problems but it kinda made me mad not to see my gtx460 not working.

Model: Zotac Nvidia Gtx460(256 bit) 1gb
