Hey all,
Recently my GPU temps were running pretty high, so i replaced my GTX 1060 for an RTX 2060 and a 500 PS for 850W. After i replaced them, my computer was crashing 5-8 times a day whether i was playing games or simply had a work document opened.
I downloaded CoreTemp and saw my CPU (i7-7700 @ 3.6 quad core) temps would spike by 20C randomly so I cleaned out my CPU fan and the temperatures got better, but i was still crashing once a week. Today I cleaned my thermal paste off the heatsink/chip and reapplied. As soon as I opened a game all 4 cores immediately spiked to 90C but are sitting ~45C idle.
Any idea what the issue might be? CPU fans are working and at 100% speed so i don't know if it's just a bad CPU, something with the power supply, or something completely different.
Thanks!
