Hi Everyone,
I recently built a new PC, but the processor is overheating. I have Coretemp installed, and have it set to shut down the PC at 90 degrees. It idles in the 30s, but when I run a game it breaks 90 and shuts down. I checked with the performance monitor in the task manager, and the cpu usage is stuck at 100% for any game I run (I tried a handful of different games). It doesn't spike to 100% and come back down, it stays there. I took it to a computer repair shop, and they ran a CPU stress test for two hours with the temperature not exceeding 70. Other than running a test, they weren't sure what the problem was and gave up. They did mention that one of my standoffs wasn't installed from the motherboard to the case, so I wonder if I have a floating ground. After getting my PC back, I installed HWmonitor and, with no programs running, see that the VIN1, VIN2, VIN3 are at about 2V and the VIN5, VIN6, VIN7 are at 1V, 1.2V, and 1.7V respectively. VIDs 0-5 are hovering between .6V and 1.2V. I'm not sure if this could be a problem with the voltage regulator circuit on the motherboard, a bad processor, or possibly too low of a power supply. I'm worried that voltages that high may have damaged my processor. Nothing on my PC is overclocked. My computer specs are below:
Motherboard: Gigabyte H370 HD3
Processor: Intel 9500 (locked)
16GB memory
1TB HDD
550W Corsair power supply
