Ok, everyone this has been happening for a little over a month now. Whenever I play a graphical demanding game for an hour or more, my computer shuts down. I even installed two more fans last time this happened. I did notice there was a shitload of dust all over my GPU, Heatsink, and fans. Could dust do this? That time I tried spraying with compressed air all over the dust but I ran out and there was/is still a lot more dust. Example of games this has happened: Battlefield 3, Arma II, Arma II: Operation Arrowhead, and now Planet Side 2 Beta. I was invited to Planet Side 2 Beta today. I played it for a little more than an hour and boom my computer shutdown. I then turned it right back on which was stupid. I felt the fans blow really, really hot air. It was the hottest air I have ever felt in my life. Really hot. My motherboard also displayed a number "99" I assume that means 99C. My computer shut down again shortly after I turned it back on. I let it stand for about five minutes off. Then I turned it back on and everything is cool. My motherboard now says "58" as I am typing this thread right now. My question is pretty much what do I do? Should I go out and purchase more fans, buy the compressed air, what?
Thanks in advance.
