GPU Temp. Too High, etc. ?

[Robert11]

Hello,

Hav a a 3-1/2 yr old HP Desktop.
Monitor has been going totally blank, now and then; a few times a day.
When working otherwise, 100 % fine.

Was wondering if possibly a temp. buildup, with an "automatic" shutdown perhaps ?
Possible ?

Have just installed the Speedfan program, and have a bunch of reading I don't understand ?

Shows also 1,000 rpm approx for two fans, so I guess the fans are working.

It shows for "GPU" 79 deg. C. Seems like a pretty hight temp., but not sure what is "normal" ?
Does this appear to be too high ?

Shows 0 rpm for GPU fan, but I am not at all sure there even is a GPU fan ?
Any way of checking without opening case; PC is in a very awkward position for me to play with
(at my age now)

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Bob

I have an Nvidia card with no fan (I hate noise), and it routinely runs in the mid-upper 70's C, according to Speccy. Been running like this for 6 years, and never a problem.

What kind of monitor do you have? Is it older than the rest of the system? Monitors do fail, sometimes strangely...

It would be helpful if you filled in your system specs.
