Hi,

I recently bought a r9 270x graphics card to replace my old one (Great card just FYI) However ever since I installed it I have had a massive problem when playing games on my computer. After about 35-40 minutes it overheats and it just stops working, the screen goes blurred and there is nothing I can do but turn it off (press and hold power button). I have tried hoovering all of the dust out and given the whole case and components a good clean just in case it was dust causing this problem. I don't know whether this is because I need more cooling fans or if it's because my 500w PSU just can't cope with the strain this new card put's it under. A bit of clarification would really help!

All help appreciated

Thanks George Waite
