Hello to the community,
I left my sister use my computer last night and today I started to have this problem with my CPU overheating and therefore forcing Windows to shutdown. I'm already sure its not due to heatsink/fan because I've checked and thev're fine (the heatsink is clean and fan spins). I'm suspecting that its probably due to a malware infection since the system overheats ONLY when I boot normally.
Normal Boot
HWmonitor reports CPU temps at 72-75C (idle)
Task Manager reports minimal-moderate CPU usage
CPU Fan audibly speeds up to max due to temps
Avira scan reports mscorsvw.exe (two of them) is malware since it doesn't have any file referrence
Allowing Avira to apply actions results to Avira "redoing" a scan and reporting another mscorsvw.exe again,. later resulting to shutdown
Scanning or leaving computer idling for more than a few minutes results to shutdown
Safe Boot
HWmonitor reports CPU at 45C (idle)
Task Manager reports minimal-moderate CPU usage
CPU fans audibly runs at "normal" speed
Avira scans fail to detect any malware or mscorsvw.exe
System runs normally, no shutdowns so far
CPU: Intel Core i5 2400
Motherboard: Biostar H61 MLV
PSU: FSP Hexa 550W
OS: Windows 7 32 Bit
Any advice I could take to fix it? Thanks in Advance.
