I had the same problem, and it IS your graphics card. Just Unplug it- and plug it back in,a nd see what happens.. And also.. It could be you running to many programs while using CSS

 

Delete your cache. Download “CCleaner” It’s great, google it, its free :D

 

i actually did take it out and blew the whole thing out with that compressed air of duster or w/e .. i had to pick a lot of *edited* out of the fan..

the thing i really don’t understand is that it has been running fine with all this dust and crap in it for so long and all the sudden when i clean everything out it still can’t take it.. I think something in my hardware has got to be *edited*ed up.. I’m not exactly sure what but if i had to guess i’d have to say it’s either the psu or the gpu cus my gpu shouldn’t be running that hot ever… and the power supply fan needs to be replaced cus it rattles/ cuts off every now and then
