So i have i5 6600k and i used to play no problems

But lately my pc started shutting down after few hours

Then after few mins

Now i can only last few mins or just hit the main menu or join a server or start playing and the pc shut down by itself and restarts

So i ran Mem86 and everytthing was fine

I bought new Gpu (Asus1060 6gb)
Cuz the technical said it was the problem but suddenly it’s not the problem


Pc still shuts down

I ran hard drive tool to check for errors

I found none

I ran intel tool that tests ur cpu and it fails the test it says cpu hit 1 degrees below max
But lately pc freezes b4 giving me the reason


What i think causing the overheating

1-must apply new thermal paste
2-mptherboard is failing
3-psu


Specs:
Gpu:Asus 1060 6Gb
Memory:8gb ddr4 2400
Cpu intel i5 6600k unlocked
Psu:corsair 550
Motherboard: Msi Z170a
Storage:Corsair ssd ~120 gb
And hhd Wd black 1tb

I use the intel cooling thingy on top of the cpu

Plus i down voted u by accident

I have my cooling fans pretty stable in there


And i didn’t change my thermal paste cuz i’ve seen on yt that the difference is almost 2 degrees

So i thought thats not the problem

first - check the intel cooler to see if it's come loose - the push pull pins are famous for popping loose. if one of the pins has come loose, pull the cooler and clean it and the CPU with alcohol to get all the old TIM off, and re-apply new TIM - not sure what youtube video you saw, but just because it's on the internet, doesn't make it true. Especially when the cooler's heatsink has detached from the CPU

And at your earliest opportunity, get a decent cooler

Stock cooler is barely proper to run your chip. If you are overclocking, then it moves to the obsolete category. Paste needs to be re-applied every now and then. Don't be in denial with this if you want to solve your problem. Clean the old paste, apply new and reseat the cooler firmly until you get a decent one, that will drops your temps. Don't overclock cpu if you do so, until you have a better aftermarket cooler.

same with me, mine had run fine for the longest time then temps started hitting 100C - i also assumed the stock cooler had to be fine - by accident i noticed one of the push-pull white plastic pins was frigging loose, so i re-attached it. Half a day later found it had popped loose again

looks like way too much thermal paste - it's actually spilled down onto the motherboard

remember it's only purpose to fill in the small gaps in the two surfaces - i use 2 uncooked rice grains (volume wise)

if there's enough TIM to flow down onto the mobo, and barely any on the cooler's heatsink, then the cooler wasn't installed properly - that's way too much TIM

clean all the old TIM off, and study the installation instructions carefully and apply the cooler 2 or 3 times dry of TIM, just to practice how the pins feel when they properly clik tight

then apply 2 uncooked grains of rice (volume wise) to the CPU, and attach the cooler firmly. In fact, it wouldn;t be a bad idea to remove it just to make sure it did spread the TIM out - if it didn't, then it's deformed badly or you didn't attach it properly. Be sure to clean the TIM off with alcohol before re-applying TIM and re-attaching
