Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can help me narrow down my PC’s issue.
Recently, my PC has been abruptly shutting down when booting up Windows. It all started when I was in the middle of playing a videogame. I started losing frames, then the PC suddenly shut down in the middle of a game. Afterwards, I tried to turn it back on again. I was able to make it all the way back to the Windows desktop before it shut down again.
Then, I tried booting to the BIOS. In the BIOS, the PC did not shut off and everything seemed fine. However, I did notice that the CPU was at ~70 deg Celsius. I exited the BIOS and booted to Windows and again it shut off as soon as I logged in.
The next day, I tried to boot up my PC and I was able to stay on the Windows desktop long enough to take some temps. I saw that my CPU was already at ~90 deg Celsius, but the task manager was reporting that the CPU was not under any significant load (<10% for the CPU usage).
What could have happened to my CPU? Is it an issue with the water cooler? Do I need to replace the CPU or water cooler or maybe both.
