Hi, so a moment ago i decided to test my cpu temperature under 100% load using Aida64, i started the test and temp went up pretty quickly and after almost 3 minutes the cpu temp went up to 84°C and the pc rebooted. Before this i changed the thermal paste because my pc always rebooted and fixed the problem. I tried out different tests and i got the same results, the cpu temp never stops rising until it gets to 80°C - 85°C and reboots. Is there anything i can do to fix this? My cpu is an AMD FX-4200.
UPDATE: After looking for a way to fix this reading forums here and there, i just decided to take apart my cpu cooler and realized i put too much thermal paste the last timetime i changed it, lucky for me it went up the sides of the heatsink and left almost anything on the cpu. I cleaned everything carefully and reapplied the perfect amount of thermal paste on the way in should be (A little dot) and that fixed everything. I'm running the stress test for 20 minutes now and so far i got a minimum of 75.5°C and a maximum of 77.8°C and working between that just perfect.
For anyone who is getting this problem i recommend trying this out.
