Alright, so about once a week, while playing a game, my computer will just restart itself.
The first thing i think of is that it's overheating, but i never know to check the temp directly before it shuts down, and AMD overdrive always says i have a 60-70 thermal margin, and when i check the bios after the reboot, it says its at 30 degrees.
Is there maybe a program that will jack up my usage to max to check to see if i might be overheating?
If i am overheating i think i may have put too much thermal paste on my cpu when i installed my new fan, since ive never put the stuff on before, i may have put more than i needed, so if that's the case, is there a certain guideline to go for when putting it on.
If its not overheating, any suggestions? I'm 99% sure it wouldnt be my PSU, since i pretty much just bought the 600w corsair psu recently
