Hi folks, it seems that you too are suffering from the same problem from which i suffered since last three weeks. I discovered this problem when once i was playing a game on my pc. After about 20 mins, the monitor suddenly turned off and gone to sleep. I pressed each and every button on my keyboard but it was 'dead'. The sound continued to play. The only thing worked is to restart the pc manually. I tried to change power settings to 'never', but the monitor still slept again and again. This continued to happen every time i started playing a game or played an HD video, or anything which consumed graphics memory. Then while searching for the solution, someware i saw about high temprature.
I downloaded a program named "MSI Afterburner". This program shows the temperature of your gpu, gpu usage, fan speed, etc. I found that just after starting the pc the temp. went upto 60-70 degrees without running any program except MSI afterburner. And when i ran a game it reached to 90-100 degrees or even 110 degree within 5 mins. The reason my pc was going to sleep was the temperature itself.
Normally the temp. should be between 40-50 deg. with no programs running and around 60-70 deg while running game (full gpu usage). The computer is set to go to sleep mode if any of the component ie. gpu or cpu overheats.
I opened up the cabinate and found that the fan was'nt running. I detached the fan out and cleaned the dust, oilled the shaft of the fan but it did'nt work. Then i checked the voltage into gpu fan wire outlet (shown in above picture), it was around 11.2 volts. The fan's capacity was 12v 0.25 amps.
The solution i found was that, i took the graphics card fan connection out and gave it an alternate connection (12v) directly from the SMPS. The detailed connections are shown in the following video.

Note :-
You will not be able to control the fan speed, ie. it will run at full speed all the time.
