I have just bought a new gaming computer from a friends brother and when I play games on it it runs great for about 20 minutes and then the fps goes from around 70 down to 15 and the graphics card heats up to 100 degrees and I have to restart my computer to stop the terrible frame rate. I think it is because of the power supply isn't strong enough but im not he greatest with computers, I have a 500 watt power supply in the computer at the moment and the guy who I bought it from said it was a 600 and I am thinking about upgrading to a 750 watt power supply because my brothers friend said that this rig needs at least a 750 watt power supply. I will post my computer specs below.
