Hello Everyone,

I am getting blue screen of death error while playing the assassin creed syndicate game
can anyone help me
 
Solution
85C is a little high, even under load, the possibility of thermal throttling is still not out of question. Change your thermal compound and see what happens. (If you need help re-applying or taking off paste, just ask)

Hey , I fixed my PC to desk and took the temps.
while idle , CPU temp is 39°C to 42°C

while gaming ( specially Assasin syndicate ) , it went up to 88°C ( for this temp, my PC don't gives blue screen error , THANKS TO YOU :) :) )
so, do i need to upgrade my heatsink / fan which is on CPU ? if yes, can you suggest which one should i buy ?

Yes, they can keep your CPU Cooler than air-cooling coolers, and they look pretty cool. If you want a water cooler, it will cost a little more. I suggest the one I have, keeps my CPU cool and it's fairly cheap.(H100i v2, $90)

Okay, I will find and purchase cooler master 212 Evo in market.
BTW, what should be my PC / CPU temps while gaming and idle ?
what are the standards ?
