check overheating, and / or cpu temp settings in the bios

Yep sounds like GPU overheating.


But do check if the back case fan is blowing out and not in, as it could be recirculating hot air.

how much digris must be in cpu temp settings in the bios?

[Joe Forster/STA]

The BIOS doesn't show the temperature of your video card. Get a system info software, like e.g. Lavalys Everest (in this software, see Computer/Sensor/GPU).
