rolf Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Yeah looks like your CPU is getting over heated Re apply thermal paste ^^ that will most of the times work. It is actually easier to check if the cooling block gets hot. Basic trick, if you can hold your hand on it without pain, it's less than 55 degrees (celcius ) and it shouldn't be a problem. In that case the airflow in your PC is bad, or the problem is something else. Otherwise, reapply thermal paste as dare said. Btw, the "cpu temperature" as you see it is not something like 127 degrees celcius (1000F or something), right? In that case there's a problem with the measurement, not necessary with the temperature itself. Also, check in the bios if possible, that information is almost always correct (preferably after crash). Quote
