I know its the card because I swapped it for another and the pc worked fine so I need to swap it. So I was wondering is this card any good Gigabyte 4Gb nVidia GeForce GTX 760 http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=GCG-XNGTX76O4 I have £200 saved up in a savings club with the company Eclipse so all I would need is to find £ 35- to get it... But before I do has anyone else got one or know if they are any good.. (The reason I pay £10 a month into the club is for emergencies like this, these days money does not grow on trees) Edited February 3, 2014 by baldie Awards

Often you might see a big carpet of dust that prevents air flow. Yes cleaning and reapplying good paste will work wonders. Awards

I followed your advice and stripped my comp out removed everything. Applied new Thermal paste to the GPU and CPU took the card to pieces and even though I clean my pc out of dust every 3 months the internal vents were clogged in the GPU so after cleaning it all the PC is now running sweet again . So a big thanks you saved me wasting money I cant really afford at the moment :thumbup: tsw 8.5 and Evil-Monkey 2 Awards
