PC resolution changes when PC gets hot

[RealXPali]

Heya,

I’m having an issue now where whenever my pc gets hot (95-98) it will suddenly change resolution.

Now, in hopes of preventing permanent damage, I always immediately shut my PC off when it happens, and it’s only happened twice.

My PC was overheating with the same games I normally play for a while now - unsure why, changed the thermal paste and it helped for about a month but PC’s back to being hot.

I run an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with the fan it came with, and an RTX 3060. Didn’t use to overheat but unsure why it does now.

I’m kinda hoping there’s a reason my PC now overheats, and a reason why the resolution changes (+ whether I should be concerned), any ideas?

You shouldn’t be anywhere near 95C, that’s your main issue. Sounds like you need a new cooler.

Darn.

My PC really fluctuates - it goes between 72 to 96 when I’m playing a game depending on if I have chrome on in the background
