I've had my PC for more than a year now, I'm running;
Windows 7 Home Premium 64
Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4ghz (no OC)
4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2
NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT
Just recently my computer has started overheating when I play certain games, I initially thought that it was a CPU issue, so I bought and installed the Corsair H50 cooling system, it works fine and my CPU stays nice and cool. However I've since discovered that it's the heatsink on my motherboard, using Everest I've seen that it's temperature of my motherboard consistently remains 20 degrees higher than my CPU. The computer just powers off after a certain amount of time of gaming.
Also as an extra I've noticed that my RAM becomes hot to the touch, but I think that is more an issue of poor air circulation.
Any advice will be welcomed, and if more information is required then please ask![Smile :) :)](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif)
