Hello, I am worried about my CPU.
I have an AMD FX-8320 which is stock 3,5GHz with Turbo 4,0GHz. I bought ArmA 3 some days ago and I found myself having low fps. I've overclocked before so I thought "Why not overclock it too 4,5GHz when I have cooling for it (Cooler Master 212 Evo). I overclocked it too 4,5GHz stable and I increased the FPS. Everything worked and I haven't had any issues until now.
This morning I started my computer and started playing ArmA 3 Wasteland with my friends. Everything worked as I wanted it too. After a while I started streaming on Twitch ArmA 3 and CS:GO. Everything went great until for about 30 min ago.
I started ArmA 3 and when I went on multiplayer Wasteland I had 9-10 fps. I stopped playing and
I started the game "Black Mesa". When I started it both my monitors went black for about 5 seconds. I thought it was wierd but didn't think much of it. After 30 seconds it happened again but my PC turned off. I immediately figured out it was my CPU.
Restarted my PC and opened "Open Hardware Monitor" and saw something terribly wrong. My cpu temp was on 45-56 idle. I ran prime95 to see how far it could go and it went a little bit over 60.
Stopped Prime95 and now I'm here asking for help.
What could be the issue? It used to run 25-35 idle.
My specs.
I can't really play anything right now. I could turn off my PC and wait till tomorrow but then I am not solving the problem.
Thanks.
