Yesterday night, I came home from work to turn on my computer, I checked if my friends were online, they weren't. So I closed my game, to my computers fans going nuts. I opened up HWmonitor, and all temperatures were normal.
CPU was at 45c
Vid card was at 60c
So i figured it was the fact that it was the real first day of summer here, and it did hit 90.
After that i watched tv for about an hour to come back to HW monitor saying that TMPin2 was at 300 Fahrenheit, so I powered it off, and opened the case, after smelling a plastic burn smell, I figured it had happened. TMpin2 was never on HWmonitor before, so i was at a loss.
And low and behold the motherboard is fried, I removed the CPU to find that the setting for it also looks a little brownish, I have had problems with the heating before, but usually blowing out the heat sink and reapplying thermal paste works.
I wanted to know if anyone could tell me what overheated?
I actually have pictures.
I know its a little dusty, but I live with two smokers, and i just dusted about two months ago:
My computer is 3-4 years old.
Specs:
MB ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3
PSU OCZ|OCZ700MXSP 700W RT
CPU AMD|PH II X6 1075T 3.0G AM3 RT
MEM 2Gx4|GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
VGA SAPPHIRE|100315L HD6850
HD 1T| SEAGATE 7K ST31000528AS
CASE ThermalTake| VL10001W2Z BK RT
As I said before, this computer is 3-4 years old, and right now, I have a PSU tester being sent, I'm hoping the rest is salvageable.
And since there's no turning back, and I'm going to have to buy a new motherboard and processor, I would ask for recommendations for a motherboard/PCU combo for under 400$, since this is my third AMD with heating problems I'm leaning towards Intel. Anyhelp would be great, and thanks for taking a look.
