*Bare with me guys, im a bit of a noob when it comes to computers so i'll try my hardest to explain what's been going on.*
Just recently I've come across a problem with my CPU overheating and turning off after playing any game.
I've had this computer for about a year and a half now, and I've never had a problem with playing games on high settings.
I've researched for problems related to mine and did what they said but it still hasn't helped. So I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction and find what the specific problem is.
I downloaded CPU temp to keep track of the temps, and it idles at around 38c. But when I start to play any game, my temps sky rocket... I guess this has been happening since I downloaded Firefall about a week ago. Even when I set the settings to low the temp increases to around 55-90c and that's when I alt-f4 before it shuts down, then it drops back to 38.
I cleaned my whole system from dust, re-applied thermal paste multiple times, checked to see if my liquid cooler might have been air locked (still not sure if I did that correctly, but wouldn't idle temp be a lot higher if I hadn't?), repositioned my radiator/pump multiple times, and I still don't understand what the problem is. I spoke with a friend and he told me to just get a new cooling system, but im not going to buy anything until im 100% sure I know what the issue is.
My gpu also gets to 40c max. when gaming, but I dont think that is the problem.
Help me please!
