I recently changed my HD 6450 for an HD 7950 Vapor-x, and strange things started to happen...
-First of all, CPU tempeture rised from 35º at idle to 42º(changing the cpu cooler from auto mode to 100% stable at the time, i mean 35º with auto, 42º with 100%)
-Computer started to shut down after or at the start of my gaming session. For example, i´m playing moh warfighter max settings without any problem or freeze, and suddenly PC turns off, and i must stop the psu some seconds in order to restart the computer too(mb still has power, so psu isnt the problem, cause it keeps working). This happens whenever it does, i mean, it doesnt follow a pattern such as happenning always in the same part of the game. Also when starting planetside 2, game loads normally and then 1 or 2 minutes later, the PC shuts down.
My question is, could this be caused by a processor overheat? New GPU never tresspasses the 65º degree barrier, which is good for a gpu, so the problem must be the cpu. I´m using the stock cooler, with an akasa thermal compound bought by me. Fan blades are cleaned by me every month, so dust is not the cause. My PSU is a LC Power 650W with 80+ Bronze, so i think that´s not the problem.
Shall i buy a new cooler? Thanks for your atention
(PD: Sorry for bad english, i´m not native =P)
