Full PC Specs:
CPU: AMD A10-5800K 3.8Ghz/ 4.2Ghz (Stock Cooler)
GPU: IGP - AMD Radeon HD 7660D
PSU: Antec Earthwatts 500W Bronze rated PSU
MB: ASRock FM2A55-DGS
RAM: 8GB 1866Mhz DDR3
HDD: WD Blue 500GB
HDD: WD Green 1TB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Additional Fans: 1 Antec Case Fan
Now, my problem is, I recently bought the new game Total War: Rome II. I'm a fanatic of the series and I'm really looking forward to playing it. I installed it last night and tried to play it this morning on High settings but my PC kept freezing and I got 2 BSOD (physical memory dump). I ran speedfan and realized the CPU was bursting into flames at 70C-80C so I immediately undervolted the CPU from 1.35 to 1.275 V as well as cleaned the dust of the fans and such inside the PC. I tried to play again, this time at medium settings, I got a good 60 FPS but the CPU was still overheating and froze again. I've had this problem in the past with Planetside 2 and its quite annoying. Is there anyway I can get the APU to run cooler without buying an aftermarket cooler?
Thanks in advance
