Been having major lag and auto shut down on my computer after a windows 7 update recently. Computer shuts off after 5 minutes give or take. I noticed the CPU temp was 98c. Today i left it alone the whole day, then booted it into BIOS to take off my OC settings. In less than 10 seconds since power on im in the bios, and it already says 97c CPU. How is that possible? The computer was off the whole day and the room isn't even warm. Am I getting a false readings from the probe? I touched the radiator vanes on my liquid cooler and they are not hot at all (even though they have a fair amount of dust, I'll clean it off later, but the exposed parts were not hot at all).
Also, I haven't changed my paste in 4 years, and suddenly there is this problem. Maybe it had something to do with the Windows 7 update that applied? Should I get new paste and remount my cooler? Im still suspicious of how it can heat up to 97c in 10 seconds. What is wrong?
