I'm using an AMD FX 8350 eight core processor and it's overheating rather quickly, resulting in my computer shutting down.
This will happen when playing games (specifically Shadow of Mordor, Skyrim, Witcher), but also when rendering animations in Maya and After effects. This is a problem because I can't complete my work with this consistently happening.
Idle temp is about 40 c. While rendering with Maya it quickly jumps to about 80 c after around a minute then will shut down the computer. Rendering the same animation with a lesser processor causes no problems so I don't see why this is happening.
I have to note that this is not the first time I've run into this. I had to return this processor a few months ago because of this specific problem and the replacement worked fine until now. I applied aftermarket thermal paste and dusted whatever I could- no good.
