Hello, I bought a second hand pc from my friend she told me it has problems booting. Blah blah blah I kinda fixed it, and I tried to use two PSU's and the results are the same. One psu creates a streaks of flashing green colors on my monitor if its plugged in the gpu, if its plugged in the mobo it creates colorless waves. And then im using a 750 watt psu with an avr, everything seems to run fine. Until both my.gpus(gtx 550 ti and a gt210) spins incredibly fast and heats up really fast, and when its on the desktop or when i open chrome it crashes. I really dont know what to do and how to fix it, is it the psu? Or is it the motherboard? Please help.

Something is running that's hammering the GPUs causing them to heat up. I would open up Task Manager as soon as you start it and see whats running. If nothing shows up using the Processes tab in Task Manager then you should try and run a virus scan if possible.

If you can't complete a virus scan before it over heats try hitting the DEL key while booting and let the PC sit on the BIOS screen...don't change anything, just see if it also crashes just sitting idle on the BIOS screen.

If the PC seems...
List full system specs. Make and model of every part.
Ok i dont really know the mobo but its an asrock FM2A58M-VG3+
Cpu amd a4 7300 or a6 7300 im not surei have a 4 gig stick of ram my gpu is wwll gtx 550ti and a 210

If the PC seems fine at idle on the BIOS screen your next move would be to format the c:/ drive and re-install Windows.
