Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	I was playing an old pc game, minding my own business when I got a temperature warning and then just after I saved the game my pc shut down to protect itself. What could have caused this? I have ordered some heat paste in case it's to do with that. I have also scanned my computer with AVG and Malware Bytes and my fans are set on turbo mode. Could it have been a Windows update in the background? They sometimes stress my pc a bit.

Thermal paste reapply every single months and fan cleaning every other week. What is your cpu brand?. Guess it is either the thermal paste which could possibly last for 5 years if it is the stock paste or IDK

Just in case they were causing some unwanted background nonsense.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	My CPU has been idle at 43 all afternoon since the crash. I'm now wondering if it was just the game I was playing. I messed around with the .ini file a while back and that might have been what was causing my computer to go nuts when starting up the game. I've reinstalled the vanilla version of this game without any mods or anything but I haven't tested it yet. I also tried Dark Souls out for 15 minutes and my cpu never exceeded 55c. Plus I've disabled AVG in case it tried to download more updates without me knowing. Didn't help. For some reason this game has become very cpu heavy. Edited by Pelador, Jan 21 2016, 06:13 PM.

CPUs should never overheat, even under constant load. Are you using the heatsink/fan that came with the processor or something else?

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	I'm using the fan/heatsink that came with it plus a chassis fan as well. The CPU fan is at 1480 rpm idle and the chassis is at 2109rpm. My CPU fan jumps to around 2500 rpm when it needs to cool the thing down.

Waterfox Favourite Manga Soul Eater	Just one fan on the case? It would be a good idea to add a second one, especially if you have a 390 dumping heat in there now. It's good to have two in the front, one in the back. But you generally want at least one exhaust and one intake. Intake is generally more important though.

Might try something like that. What case do use? Out of curiosity. Edited by FutureProtagonist, Jan 21 2016, 09:32 PM.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	An old hp pavilion a6421.uk. My board wouldn't fit in my old case so I had to use this one that was laying around. http://www.stress3it.co.uk/resources/HP+Pavilion+tower.jpg Played the game on windowed mode. No temp increase at all. Just goes nuts when I run at full screen. Edited by Pelador, Jan 21 2016, 09:45 PM.

Waterfox Favourite Manga Soul Eater	I see. Well, taking the side panel off/using a box fan might be the best solution we can get for that case, aside from cutting holes in it.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	Question, how come I can play over an hour of The Witcher III and not have my CPU temp go above 55, but I can't watch ten minutes of Gravity Falls on full screen in 420p without it going up to 60? Is it Firefox related?
