I'm having an odd problem.
Today, and I've checked it several times since the first occurrence, checking notifications on Facebook via Google Chrome and Firefox, both freeze the page and send my CPU temp between 72-78 celsius, turning on the fan to a fairly high speed. I have tried other websites and have monitored my temps while running Black Ops 3: Cold War, and my temps stay lower and do not spike like that , even with Call of Duty (running around in a solo map). I've also tried clearing cookies/cache to no avail.
How in the -world- is this occurring? I've recently built this computer from scratch and did struggle a little seating the cooling unit on the processor. But, that just doesn't make a ton of sense to me, since it stays cooler running a fairly demanding game over checking a notification on Facebook. Once I close the page and Chrome, the temps recede back to normal.
This seems to me like a software issue.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
