So slightly more than a week ago my computer was experiencing some major problems, it was being incapable of being booted up and every attempt at it, it would immediately shut down (I don’t know how useful this is, but I feel it might be)
The issue was discovered to be with both the processor and the motherboard, which was weird because my processor was a pretty nice Intel i7, don’t remember the series precisely, but it wasn’t that old.
So recently I exchanged both, currently my processor is an Intel Core i5 9600k, but I’m having some oddities with it that I’m really concerned about, currently doing absolutely no work it’s temperature is around 45-50 degrees Celsius and I’ve seen it spike to 100 degrees Celsius playing some quite not high-end games.
However the oddest part for me it’s that my PC has been having this problem with shutting down while running games for some time, I’ve changed both GPU and CPU in a matter of 8 months and the problem still exists and happened today which lead to me being concerned with the CPU and temperature to make some tests.
I feel there is something wrong with another part of the PC, but from what I can tell and somewhat be sure, my computer has been shutting down because of CPU heat, which is strange because before I changed CPU and even fans it had a the SAME issue.
My current idea is to check to if there is enough thermal paste and change to one of my bigger coolers, but since the problem has been persistent across a few builds, I like to hear from people who might know from a similar problem.
Sidenote: I live on a very hot place, but even with air conditioning has done little to help
