I have a HTPC that has an e8400 in it. It sometimes randomly switched off, most often whilst watching high-def films. So I checked the temps by running real temp.
And at idle it was saying around 70C. I couldn't believe this so decided to run the calibration, but of course the PC just shuts off after running it for a minute or two, i guess as the temperature gets too high.
What could be the problem?
I am only using the stock cooler but surely it isn't THAT bad, it works fine on my desktop that has the same CPU.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
