GPU overheating less than a minute into gaming
OK, so about a month ago i brought dark souls 3 and around 5 minutes into playing the game, my monitor displayed the "No connection found screen" and my headset cut off all my sound. I was on discord at the time and the people in the call said i just disconnected without saying anything. I know it's not discord because this error has happened multiple times without discord being open.
This has happened across some games, most recently the Overwatch Open Beta, Dark Souls 3, Black Ops 3. I have never received this error before and it never happens in some games, such as league of legends, Nidhogg and other seemingly random games. My specs aren't bad and I've had no problems running Black Ops 3 before this error happened the first time.
My Hard drive in the task manager window spikes at 100 sometimes, but then goes back to 0 for at least a while. I've never had the chance to look at the task manager window when crashing, as I'm always in-game. This seems random to me when it happens, because I've played a near 7 hour session with absolutely no crashes,and sometimes it can crash 3-4 times in 30 minutes.
The only way I've found to get my computer working again after the crash is to hold the power button until the unit turns off, then turn it back on.
