Okay, so recently, my PC just overheats and shuts itself off. Turns out the CPU was overheating. Just sitting idle for 5 minutes would get 70°C. I have tried reapplying thermal paste after cleaning many times, but whatever I'm doing, it's not changing the results. I have an AMD fx-6300 6 core processor and I've never had this probably until now. Any suggestions please?
