What kind of indicators are you observing? Are you attempting to utilize the GPU for gaming or another purpose? The graphics card in question is quite outdated and had a relatively low performance even at the time it was released. It might be wise to consider replacing it with a newer model.

This power supply is extremely low quality. I definitely wouldn't use something like this, and I certainly wouldn't have pushed a PSU of this type for overclocking. It's a clear sign of poor design—similar to someone with a health issue trying to run a marathon. Another issue is that these budget power supplies are problematic; even if they work once without causing long-term damage, a serious failure can make diagnosing a PC nearly impossible until you replace it with a better one.

That's another issue with the lower-end power supplies; even if it works once without damaging your system, the first serious failure makes it nearly impossible to diagnose a PC properly without replacing it with a proper PSU. So it really seems to be the PSU here, which is disappointing since I just bought it new. Could it actually be the PSU and not the graphics card? I'm planning to test the card on my friend's PC to see if the problem persists.

The PSU is the probable source, though certainty remains until verified. Nonetheless, I would still replace it because it poses a fire risk at the worst.

The PSU is the most probable reason, though we can't be certain until tested. Still, I'd go ahead and replace it because it poses a fire risk at best.

This mobile device will act as a significant constraint in your character creation, lacking the capacity for much power. It essentially represents the weakest point in terms of abilities—no cooling solutions, minimal Southbridge support, and limited thermal management. Be mindful of the board's temperature, especially considering the age of the mobile and its design, as it could easily fail if pushed too hard.

That mobo is going to be a big constraint for your OC—it's not really designed for much power. It's essentially the weakest point in terms of ability, with no heatsinks and very limited Southbridge support. Keep an eye on board temperatures, especially considering the age of that mobo and its caps; without heatsinks, it'll likely fail quickly if pushed too hard. I'm stopping from adjusting settings now after reading all those replies, so I'm reverting to the factory defaults.
