My computer is just over a year old now and is starting to show some issues. The computer was custom built with parts I ordered online and up until now has had no issues.
one issue is that my i5 processor temperature is rising when I play games that really shouldn't be putting much strain on it. When not playing a game it says at 28-32 degrees but during a lot of games it can spike to around 55-60 degrees.
My motherboard has been making an alarming sound. I sounds a bit like a squeak noise when the mother board is being idle. When the mother board is doing a lot of work it doesn't make the noise but when not doing something to strenuous it's making that noise.
One of my friends says that this is a sign that it is actually my power supply that is going bad. That the noise is power escaping or something like that.
I was just wondering what other people might think. Is my motherboard going bad or my power supply or am I really that unlucky and after only having the computer for a year a lot of things are going bad? It's not so much that there is a problem because I know there is but it's just not knowing what is causing it that's concerning me.
