I have a desktop with an AMD FX-8350 and so far i have loved the setup and haven't had any problems with the rig. Upon running Total War: Warhammer I played for about 3 hours and then without warning my system shut down, not blue screening, just off. This has happened about three times total but only when the CPU has been under a load it would seem.
Upon doing a little digging I found that temperature is often the cause of something like that happening, I then proceeded to download HW Monitor and found that the CPU temp is topping out at around 79 C. What happened? I have had the computer for two years and never had an issue, or so I thought as I'll admit I'd never actually seen what the normal temp was when I first built it. (This was my first "build your own" job) I have removed the heat sync and fan and re applied the thermo paste and I saw no difference.
Is it possible that it's always run hot and just now it's shutting down?
What do you folks think? Any help is appreciated.
