So, two problems which I suspect are related:
During a stress test using Prime95, the computer shuts down. CPU temperatures barely reached 70°C before the shutdown happened.
CPU spikes to near-100% which causes stuttering. I've mainly had it happen in video games since that's mostly what I do on my computer. Again, core temps don't reach anywhere near maximum levels when the computer stutters.
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K
Mobo: MSI H110M PRO-VD
GPU: 980 Ti
PSU: Corsair 600W, 80Plus certified.
All of these components are three years old.
I removed the case lid and created airflow through my room on a chilly night. Stuttering in-game was still present.
My mobo is cheap. Since throttling is present, could it be the problem? I think it's more likely to fail than the PSU, since the PSU is supposed to be high quality.
