I purchased an Intel i5 processor not long ago, and I'm having overheating problems.
I booted up my PC once and I got a message saying "CPU over temperature error"
I had never seen this before
I went into my BIOS and it said that my cpu was at about 90C
I decided to leave my computer alone for an hour, and I took the side of my case out and put it next to an AC vent. I then rebooted the PC up an hour later and went immediately into BIOS. It started out great, at about 50C, and then over a span of about 10 seconds, it progressively skyrocketed up to 90C.
I don't know if it's a problem with the temp probe on my motherboard or what.
Should I get a new heat sink or a new something?
EDIT: I am using the heat sink that came with the Intel processor, and have 4 other fans running throughout my tower, a mix of intake and outtake.
