Downloaded open hardware monitor. Results are shown below.
Graphics card at 55C value and 59C Max while playing games.

Could it be my SSD dying?

Please help!

so does that mean if i should find ways to bring it down?

any advice?

1. minor cleaning of the GPU fan
2. more advanced is to remove the HSF, clean of the old thermal paste and reapply new.

Do take note risk is involved and worse end up with a brick card.

This is good advice. Most likely the hanging is caused by overheating. Try cleaning off any dust from your fans or heatsinks and see if the issue persists.

Hi all

After the graphic freeze, I tried to do some read and write test for my SSD.
Then i got a BSOD amidst of it.

After getting BSOD, I tried to take out one of my 4gb RAM.
and after taking out the 1x4gb RAM, seems like no more graphic freeze and no BSOD.

Tried running memtest86 on both RAM 1 by 1. Ran 1 test each on both and both passed with no error. (maybe I should run more test?)

Right now I insert back the other RAM, so far no graphic is freezing and no BSOD is happening thus far.

Get anyone give me some advice?

Probably the golden contacts of the RAMs are dusty.
