Hi,

Today for no reason my decided to start being annoying.

After it boots up after 15 seconds to a few minutes it dies.

I presume it was a heat issue so had a clean out of all dust. But same issue.

I re added thermal paste and same issue.

for the 15 seconds its on I can get to the bios pc health and see the cpu is at 85c.

Feeling the cpu its cool as ice.

What could this be?

Regards,

Luke

Hello.
So the bios PC Health it says 85c for a reason. IF you are familiar and comfortable to open the pc case then open the pc case and check your fan or maybe the heatsink is not set properly of moved for some reason. My 2c opinion .Have a nice day.

Final Update

Turns out it was my h100 pump was clearly broken. Replaced with thermaltake 3.0 water and all good at a nice cool 10c.

Thanks for all the help
