Hello,
The past few days I have been experiencing a problem with my computer where it will shut off when trying to play a game. I have been telling myself "There's no way it could be overheating...the game just started blah blah blah." Well it looks like my CPU is overheating. When running open hardware monitor my cpu temps show 55 degrees on idle (With case sides on and 4 case fans cpu fan and gpu fan blowing.) When I open the case side and have a giant box fan blowing on the PC my temps go down to 40 degrees idle and up to 80 degrees with game running before I just turned off the game myself.
2 Questions:
1. Do you think I might have fucked up my CPU by letting it overheat so many times trying to fix the problem. Prob 15+ times. (Comp runs fine when not playing a game so I hope CPU is okay.)
2. What is causing this sudden issue in CPU overheating and how can I solve it? Is it as simple as applying new thermal paste? Thank you!
Thank you for any help!
