While i am playing a game and after minimum 1 min into it my gpu fan makes a loud noise and then i get a black screen. It doesnt restart it stays at the black screen with the gpu fan making a loud noise as if it was at 100%. I didnt get this problem for the past 1 year i was using till recently when i started bitcoin mining.

Specs;
- Gtx 550 TI
- i3 550
- Windows 10
- Idk 220W PSU

220W PSU. GTX 550Ti. That's an old build...

Upgrade your PSU...

Despite the extra frequency and enhanced back-end, the GTX 550 Ti 1GB requires just a single 6-pin PCI-E power cable, and has suitably diminutive power requirements. Nvidia recommends a 400W PSU, with a maximum stated TDP of 116W.

Intel Core i3 550 has a maximum stated TDP of 75W. If you have a 220W PSU, upgrade it ASAP as it's definitely not enough to supply the power, to atleast a 400W PSU.

Well you broke your card bitcoin mining by the sound of it.

Was never going to be a good idea on a 6 year old GPU , which im surprised was even running on that 220w PSU.
