Hi all,
i5-6600K Intel CPU
GeForce 960
14 GB RAM (mismatched)
Asus b150m-a d3 (micro-atx)
1TB HDD
500GB Internal SSD (Samsung EVO)
2TB External HDD
I pulled an old dusty computer out and have been trying to clean it up/inside and out,
Installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 Home from bootable USB onto formatted internal SSD. Wiped entire old C drive (moved most files to external HDD prior). During Windows installation, after 1st reboot screen, flashed angry Megatrends BIOS error message, "CPU overheating error! Press F1 to enter setup"
I pressed F1 went into BIOS (CPU temp read 80c) and simply reentered my bootable USB media and resumed installation. System normally rebooted again during installation. Yet again BIOS showed same error message, "CPU overheating error! Press F1 to enter setup" I continued, then Windows was finally installed booting off SSD. I downloaded AVG Driver Updater, new BIOS update and Intel drivers. Then CPU-Z/HWMonitor and was shocked my CPU temps were skyrocketing under very light use (CPU util. 5-10%) my CPU fan was running around 2900RPM but temps kept turning red and were hitting 100c morbidly, oh the madness...
I am going to open the system up today and dust it and check all hardware connections. Since CPU is overheating very quickly under minimal use I suspect a disconnected fan/thermal paste etc problem. But this overheating occurred immediately after installing Windows onto my SSD, it never was an issue before, I did not apply or adjust current thermal paste and system sat being used recently no problem. Possible driver issue or Windows.
So I'm kind of lost for words. Maybe CPU doesn't like Windows on SSD, or maybe the empty old 1TB HDD C drive is making it upset? The newly connected 2TB external? Not sure, I'm new. What are your thoughts? I will post update after taking apart system, cleaning and reassembly
Thanks
*CPU does not have any BIOS overclock or adjusted voltages to my knowledge. I believe BIOS said CPUs running at 1.134v? (i'll look into later)
