    Temp shutdowns...but why?

    The problem has been solved: It turns out the new PSU is actually stopping the shutdowns. I took the old PSU apart and not only was it disgustingly dirty and dusty, but there was a bulging capacitor in there as well. Why this was reported as a thermal issue I may never know, but the PSU was...

    Temp shutdowns...but why?

    New PSU did not fix the problem, but made it take longer to happen. The only components left from when this started are the CPU, RAM, and case. Stats from a stress test that caused a shutdown after approximately 80 minutes. Could it be the CPU? I'm at a loss at this point. DATE TIME...

    Temp shutdowns...but why?

    I checked every capacitor carefully but see no signs of bulging or leakage. Once I replace the board I will give a thorough inspection and an update. I would rather fix the problem than know what it is, but of course both would be nice...

    O really? How did you know?

    Temp shutdowns...but why?

    The motherboard is tripping due to CPU temp, but the core temps never go above 60c and rarely go above 55. I am monitoring the temps with 3 different programs and the logs do not show any pattern. I cleaned the motherboard and PSU thoroughly to no avail.

    Temp shutdowns...but why?

    This is a system I have built, but I never really dusted the motherboard per se. I will try that next. Whatever the problem is, it is getting slightly worse every day. I would rather not replace anything (else) needlessly.

    Temp shutdowns...but why?

    I get the message that there was a "thermal event," presumably from BIOS, during startup. Could it be the PSU? That doesn't sound right...I have a 450w no-name PSU.

    Temp shutdowns...but why?

    My PC shuts itself down due to "thermal events" when I try to run modern games. However, the temperatures as monitored by several different programs do not reflect this necessity. CPU core temps max out around 55c, GPU core temp maxes out around 65c. This should not be a problem. Thermal...
