Hello,
I am new to this Forum, so I would like to say hello to everyone.
I would be grateful for some advice. My computer is a generic x64 running a 64 bit dual core AMD K8 processor.
There appears to be an overheating problem with the cpu. After about 15-20 minutes of running the computer will automatically shutdown. After it had cooled down, I loaded Core Temperature CPU monitor. I ran a couple of programs, just to load the cpu. One of the cpu core temperatures quickly reached 125 degrees and subsequently shut down.
I unclipped the fan/sink assembly and removed all the existing thermal paste and applied a fresh coat. On booting up the computer it shut down again after about 20 minutes.
The PC has working PSU, case and CPU fans? Perhaps it is a faulty CPU? Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
Many thanks,
Mark
