My friends pc keeps randomly shutting off so he checked his cpu temps in his bios when starting his pc up again and it was at 104 degrees. I thought it was a lack of thermal paste on his processor so he bought more and applied it but it still turns off. It was working fine for the past month or two, is there anything else that could possibly be the culprit? His PSU is new, MOBO is new, and RAM is also new.
We cannot help without system specs.
