    Still the same as before. You need to start thinking about what it is, not what it isnt.

    Have you followed ALL of the suggestions in the link?

    I haven't reset the system to default values while troubleshooting it because I'm not sure how to do it.

    The easiest way is through the BIOS. There are two others, but they are not recommended due to the need to open up the system and touch the hardware. How To Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS)

    I did it, and it didn't fix the problem.

    Ok last thing i tried was the video stress test. I managed to take this screenshot, and 5-10 seconds after that, PC crashed.



    Wow, that's hot! [insert smiley with smoke coming out ears here]

    It's not the cooling nor dust build-up.
    It's not, eh? So you would expect a graphics card to reach water's boiling point and not be an issue? Some cards have a max temp of 105 C, but even then, 102 C is nothing to sneeze at...


    Just as an FYI: nVidia graphics cards are not usually happy above 85 C. 90 C may be okay, but certainly not 102 C...

    I had no problems with it for more than a year (that's when I bought the PC].Anyway, there is room for another fan. Should I buy it?

    I would first suggest making sure the card's fan is spinning. Also check that no wires are blocking the fan. I have seen a failing fan cause issues or wires blocking fans cause cards to overheat.

    I just checked and it's spinning and no cables were blocking it. So I have to buy another fan, don't I?

    Difficult to say whether a new fan would solve the problem. It could be the card itself is failing. Is it still under warranty?
