This is a homebuilt system but i couldn't find a right category to fit this issue in if there is any.
My CPU is 80 degrees and motherboard 40 degrees. My CPU is probably hitting the 100 degree mark right about now and i think this over heating is whats messed up my old graphics card.
I need to know what you need to know so i can post up everything.
First here is a bit of history,
/Suffered a virus and i pressed ok on an alert box that kept popping up might have caused the temperature issue
/Re-installed win 7 all fine
/Norton alerts me "firefox is taking 100% of at least one CPU" I ignore this til i find it may have fried my old graphic card
/I did a complete re-instal yesterday and decided to re-apply some thermal paste, it did nothing.
/I re-checked the CPU today to see if i might have inputted it wrong which might have caused the temperatures to sore even higher. Found i might have put too much paste on and wiped the excess off.
/I think its fried a case fan i had installed as well since its stopped working.
What do i need to post up for you to help me?
