For a while I've been dealing with my PC randomly rebooting, and I've finally narrowed it down to my CPU heat spiking from 20-30C to 80C+ when under any load above 30%. The heats spikes can be guaranteed whenever a loading screen in something like Killer is Dead occurs, and when trying to stress test the CPU with Prime95, the computer instantly reboots.
I've reapplied the thermal paste 4 times, checked the back plate, and have tried two different heat sinks (h80i and h100i.) None of this has changed anything. I'm at a loss as to what I should do next. If anyone can offer me any help, it would be appreciated.
