I doubt it is a psu problem, but, all things are possible with a cheap psu/
What is the make/model of your psu?
Bogdan_10 :
I will have my PC checked by a shop tommorow anyway but I wanted to see if the problem might be just something easier to solve so I can avoid unnecessary expenses.
Also I don't really plan to put more ram or anything because I will buy another PC by the end of this year.
And as I mentioned above, I know the Temperatures are high for my PC but it was like this since I got it. The components of my PC were brand new (as in they were still unboxed) and the temps were just like this:
Processor: 65 degrees Idle and around 80 degrees in gaming (sometimes even 85+ but that was only like 1 year after I got it, now it won't really go much above 80)
And the GPU 60 degrees in gaming but that is Radeon for you, it ain't gonna get any cooler.
In the past 3-4 years since I got the PC nothing has changed in the temperatures.
I am using RealTemp so I know what I am talking about.
Also I found on some forum (don't remember where) that the PSU can send (bad?! broken!?? voltage or electricity to the components which makes them work improperly.
I will do a system restore later in the day and come up with an answer.
For now, thank you all for your time
65c. at idle tells me your cooler has come loose, is defective, or needs remounting.
When the cpu gets dangerously hot, it will reduce the multiplier or even shut down.
CPU-Z will tell you what the multiplier is at any given moment.
----------------how to mount the stock Intel cooler--------------
The stock Intel cooler can be tricky to install.
A poor installation will result in higher cpu temperatures.
If properly mounted, you should expect temperatures at idle to be 10-15c. over ambient.
To mount the Intel stock cooler properly, place the motherboard on top of the foam or cardboard backing that was packed with the motherboard.
The stock cooler will come with paste pre applied, it looks like three grey strips.
The 4 push pins should come in the proper position for installation, that is with the pins rotated in the opposite direction of the arrow,(clockwise)
and pulled up as far as they can go.
Take the time to play with the pushpin mechanism until you know how they work.
Orient the 4 pins so that they are exactly over the motherboard holes.
If one is out of place, you will damage the pins which are delicate.
Push down on a DIAGONAL pair of pins at the same time. Then the other pair.
When you push down on the top black pins, it expands the white plastic pins to fix the cooler in place.
If you do them one at a time, you will not get the cooler on straight.
Lastly, look at the back of the motherboard to verify that all 4 pins are equally through the motherboard, and that the cooler is on firmly.
This last step must be done, which is why the motherboard should be out of the case to do the job. Or you need a case with a opening that lets you see the pins.
It is possible to mount the cooler with the motherboard mounted in the case, but you can then never be certain that the push pins are inserted properly
unless you can verify that the pins are through the motherboard and locked.
If you should need to remove the cooler, turn the pins counter clockwise to unlock them.
You will need to clean off the old paste and reapply new if you ever take the cooler off.
