  Try swapping out the power supply. They don’t last forever and it might be the cause of your problem.

  When was the last time you took the panel off and blew out the dust bunnies?

  the 660 Ti runs very cool, but your AMD CPU not, check that the CPU heat sink is properly and firmly attached, you might want to dust it off, take it out and apply a new layer of thermal paste on the CPU after cleaning off the old one, then mount the heat sink back… if you’re unsure how to do this visit your nearest electronics, how about going for a water cooling solution ? once you get one you’ll never go back, it’s not expensive and well worth investing into, in my opinion.
