Hey guys,
I'd like some help with my CPU problems. The last couple of days my computer has been shutting down out of the blue, I checked the CPU temperature after the shutdowns and it seemed to reach 80-90 degrees celcius!
Now before we go further i've got an:
- AMD FX 6200
- Antec Kuhler h2o 620
- Asrock 990FX Extreme 3
- SAPPHIRE HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5
What i've tried
1. I considered it might be a virus so I went and reinstalled windows 8.1 which didn't change anything
2. Bought new cooling paste and removal kit to change the paste on my cpu. (Lowered the temp to 70-75 degrees)
3. Checked if I was somehow overclocking my CPU and even updated my BIOS to be sure that I wasn't.
Before the shutdowns started happening I noticed my PC starting to really slow down, switching tabs in chrome or alt+tabbing from a game. 30ish fps in League of Legends with everything on low settings. I checked the CPU usage in task manager and it seemed not even come close to 100%...
(I don't think its my PSU either since it has been coping fine for 1.5 years and I cleaned it out. It also wouldnt explain why my pc has become so slow, would it?)
Now that i've reinstalled my pc and applied new cooling paste I installed Core Temp so that I could keep an eye on the temperature.Here's the activity while typing this thread. But the frequencies quite often float around 70-80% for a reasonable period.
So i'm kind of stuck here, does any of you have any suggestions on what I could do to fix this? Or am I going to have to buy a new CPU?
Thanks!
