Hi
My system is 4 years old and recently i have been experiencing random shutdowns while using Windows. I checked the CPU temperatures and they were pretty high, 95-117 Celsius while idle on Windows and 86-90 Celsius on bios. On start-up the temperatures are around 76c but quickly rise up to the 95-100c range. I found that to be pretty strange considering that i have never overclocked the CPU.
The shutdowns are random considering that the PC may even shutdown even when it is on sleep-mode.
The CPU load is normal.
I checked the cooler(it's the one that came with the CPU) and it seems to be fine.
Truth be told i haven't applied any thermal paste since i built the system but i don't think that will solve the problem, but i am open for suggestions of course.
I experience no problems whatsoever while using Ubuntu.
Any advice or idea will be greatly appreciated.
System Specs
Windows 7 64x Ultimate SP1
Ubuntu 12 Lts Precise Pangoline
CPU: Amd Phenom II X4 965
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
Ram: 4gb DDR3 669,7 MHz
Graphics: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4890
