Hi!

My video card has been acting up lately, when i play video games on high graphics and high resolutions, my video card tends to climb up to 80 degrees celsius. Now that isn't high for a video card, and it wouldn't bother me, but after a minute at 80°C and the monitor loses display, and the whole game crashes.Sometimes the whole PC shuts down. I monitor my temperatures with MSI Afterburner and it shows that the video cards's temperature is 0°C!! So it definetly is a crash. The maximum temperature of this card is supposed to be 100°C.I checked with Bluescreenview and it says that it's actually a BSOD. Any solution to this problem??

PSU is bad for my opinion. Current PCs consume major part of power from the 12V rail. You can look at your psu sticker and I think you'll see that it can provide around 16-18 ampers via this rail (12V). Its about 200-220W. After many years of use this psu could lose stability of voltage under the high load.
I also advise to make a better ventilation in your case (clean the dust out if it be there, install additional fan at the rear wall). 80C is admissible but not good temperature.
