This is for Sam,
It all started a few days ago when I was gaming and I'd get a huge lag spike every so often, didn't realise the problem at the time and later that day my pc just shut itself down. Asked around and was told to download core temp, got it and was my temperature was around 67 dergrees c whilst idleing with only firefox running.
Now every time i try to game or do too much at once, eg load firefox, xfire at the same time as listening to music, or if i just start a game my pc again would just shut itself down, the one time it didnt restart when i was doing more than one thing the temp rocketed to 90c, sometimes nearly 100. Obviously i closed everything there and then.
Tried my old duel core cpu and still have the exact same problem. I bought some decent thermal paste to use aswell as a new freezer 7 pro fan to replace the intel fan that came with my cpu. Now while idleing my temperature is around 57, but again if i try to do too much it will heat up straight away and has only shut itself down once now.
Any suggestions what to do next? I've been told it could be my motherboard but I wanted to hear more suggestions first.
Thanks
