Hi folks,
Recently, my PC keeps shutting itself off. This mainly happens when I am playing games but it can happen during normal browsing. I took it to my local computer repair shop and asked them to diagnose the problem since I didn't have time to spare to do this myself at the time. The guy came to the conclusion that it was my graphics card that was causing the problem and its gone faulty. I replaced my graphics card since then, however I'm still getting them same problem. Obviously, my money was wasted.
I did some CPU stress testing and using CoreTemp and IntelBurn test. These are my min max temps (degrees Celsius):
Core 0 Min 38 Max 86
Core 1 Min 36 Max 84
Core 2 Min 38 Max 82
Core 3 Min 80 Max 81
I did the stress testing until the PC shut itself off again. This suggests to me that the CPU temps are the problem here and is the cause of them problem.
What does everyone else think? What is the cheapest solution in this case? I've already cleaned dust out of my PC as much as I can. And also my PC is situated inside my desk's compartment below and I close the door on it., there really isn't any other place I can put my PC on its a small desk and a small room.
I am using Intel 4670K processor although I did not bother overclocking it, right now I replaced my old GPU with alternative one - GTX 960 Nvidia. And I am using a 600W EVGA power supply. I have had this PC for roughly 3-4 years now.
I'll be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks in advance
