CPU overheating when running intensive program.?

Question

Hey so this problem only began last night and I used these programs fine up until then, I will right this clearly like bullet points in hopes people will reply and not skip over.

Running CPUID HardWare Monitor Pro to check temperature, it stable at 50 c everything goes wrong at 130 c.

When running a program like Final Fantasy XIV: ARR Beta or anything that uses a lot of CPU including multiple smaller programs like Firefox + VLC player + Skype, it very quickly rises from 50 c to 130 c.

When the CPU reaches 130c it crashes, doesn't shut down or blue screen, it straight up turns off instantly.

The room is very cold, the computer has 2 added fans + CPU fan + GPU fan also I have a very strong fan blowing towards the computer in the room, it's very very cold.

This is a new problem and I have already tried cleaning out dust from the computer there wasn't very much, I scanned for viruses nothing.

Please help I tried Write this in a way that would hopefully be less annoying but there was so much info to give so I didn't get wrong replies like, clean for dust or something.

Thank you anyone who takes the time to help I will choose best answer.

Answer 1

The way you describe it, I would take a reasonably safe bet that the Thermal Paste

that is between the CPU and the heat sink has gone off and lost it's efficiency.



It needs replacing, either by yourself if you feel confident enough or

stick it into a workshop and let them do it.

Answer 2

Sounds like the cpu is on its way out mine is stable at 37 C and i use a hell of a lot of programmes .Try the paste as suggested its very easy to do about as hard as changing a plaster...Honestly.By the sounds of your description you've plenty of air circulating around, just check fans are aligned properly ie sucking in from one way and extracting the other.

Personally i think your cpu is dying as 50C is still very hot for a pc running a browser, watching a movie and all the background apps.

Answer 3

Try getting an aftermarket cooler like the Cooler Master H212

Try remmoving the old thermal paste and putting on a fresh layer.

Make sure your computer is not crammed in a corner and it has some room for the heat to let loose. Try gretting a more ventulated case.



If all else fails, get a small freezer, some waterproofing solvent for computer parts and put you computer in the freezer while you use it.



Consider Water Cooling, Liquid Nitrogen, or Moving to Siberia. Also, have you overclocked your processor, set it back to the Stock Speed.



Again if nothing works, USE THE FREEZER.

A good registry cleaner I use is CCleaner. It's a reliable tool to get rid of worms, trojams, malwares and viruses that affect your pc performances. Free download here http://j.mp/UrAHYV

Answer 5

is it's CPU is very hot

usually problem from heat sink

i have that problem 1 year ago

if i use most of CPU it crash with me

because my PC was very old after changing thermal compound (something that it's between CPU and heat sink it's liquid and it's very cheap)

after i clean the old one put new one every thing back good and heat go down again

and i could use all of CPU without any problem

if your PC is very old or old most likely this is the problem



thanks



i wish i help
