    [SOLVED] While Playing Games and Recording the computer freezes, goes black, and reboots.

    I was running a cpu intensive program just now and watched it crash. Handbreak was converting a video file and Cpu was being used close to or at 100%. I noticed the cpu was at 74 degrees Celsius Just before the unexpected reboot. Is that considered overheating?
