I'm not sure what you might be able to use for an upgrade but it might be worth repasting it. Even if the GPU core isn't overheating, some of the other components could be.
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

I think it could be the ram as I have been using a little overclocking on games...
where and how can I find out what type of gpus fit my ASUS K73sv motherboard
