Hello,
For a few days my computer has been shutting down after 30-60 min usage.
That's the computer I've been using for years & I could play for hours with game on 2560x1440 monitor while watching streams / films on a 1920x1200 monitor.
Thinking it could be because of overheating I fully cleaned it with pressurized air and checked the fans: they work.
Monitoring CPU usage: nothing special, mostly low even in game
I have been monitoring the heat.
The Asus GTX 680 temp was about 73c at max, which seems largely within acceptable limits. I think it can go as high as 130c.
The rest of the system I monitored with Speedfan.
It reported system temp between 35-55c.
And the processor was within 35-65c. It's a Core i7 920.
I thought the processors could go as high as 70c. Is this true?
Is there an easy way to record temps so that I know exactly how hot the computer was when it shut down?
Is my system overheating or should I look for another issue?
Where should I look?
If I buy a new system should I take my old 680GTX in it or should I buy a 770GTX?
Thanks,
Cedric
