Computer Shutting Down, Overheating?

[bcollins213]

My computer has been running strong for almost 3 years, recently however it has been shutting down with no warning and no rhyme or reason. I can't get through the windows start-up without it crashing. I renewed the thermal paste last night with no success aside from being able to get open a cpu temp monitor. The temperature began at 53 degrees C and steadily rose till it hit the 70 mark when i promptly shut it down. Does this sound like a cpu cooler issue or something else?

What is your CPU?

What is your CPU?

I have an AMD FX 6300, not overclocked.

Is your heat sing and fan tightened down? (Assuming your using air cooling) I bought a system from cyberpowerpc and it was an fx 6300, they didn't have the heat sink tightened down so its rose to high temps and shut off without warning, after I tightened down the heatsink and fan it ran below 20C

I also bought my system from cyberpower, it came with an all-in-one liquid cooling, but yes it is tightened all the way down. I've had it since I bought the system. Maybe the all-in-one has gone bad?

Might be a dead pump in the AIO.

Would it be easiest to just get a new cooler in that case? I've seen that a dead all-in-one is difficult to fix part by part.

Did the temperature raise up with only the start up of your computer? if yes then there is an issue with your cooling system. reach 70°C idle is not normal at all.

All fans are working normal as they should? You can go buy a cheap air cooler like a hyper 212x or hyper 212 evo and see if that fixes the issue, if it did than it was a cooler issue

I recently ordered a new cpu, AMD FX 8350, it is going to come with the Wraith cooler, should I attempt to use that and if that works then get an aftermarket cooler?

The Wraith cooler is good. You should be fine with that.

From what I've heard and read it is likely a cpu cooler so I will wait and see what happens when the new parts come in thanks to everyone for their help and I'll update on what happens.
