Hello, recently I’ve noticed my motherboard has a red light on and it was the CPU light, around the same time I started lagging in a couple of games and when I play the light stays on but when it idles it turns off. I checked my CPU temperature while playing and it’s around 85-95 and when I’m not playing anything it’s around 70-75. I tried cleaning my cpu to put new thermal paste but now my pc keeps getting blue screen once in awhile.

Any idea what it could be ?

70 to 75 degrees at idle doing nothing but idling a few minutes after a reboot.

Those temps are a new development.

Re-applying thermal paste did not help or hurt.

All case fans are operating normally.

Is all of that correct?
Yeah those temperature are after rebooting and once I load up a game the temperature shoot’s up to 85-90 and yes all the fans are working normally.
