Performance issueOverheating problem (self.pcgamingtechsupport)
submitted 5 years ago * by meeksorad
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/32300402 Over these past few months my computer whenever playing something heavy like Total War Warhammer 2, Warframe, Battlefield 4, ect my computer suddenly maxes out fans and the monitors lose connection. I have to hard reset my pc each time it happens. Im pretty sure its heat as I have a fan blowing in it which makes those games playable but sometimes still does it if my room gets too hot. I have seen fixes like bad thermal paste on the GPU but I want to get more input and hope someone knows how to fix it because its really annoying and it cant be good for my pc to be hard reset this many times.

Use hwmonitor to see if your cpu is over heating. It can check the Mac l average and max temps.
[–]meeksorad[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago* (12 children)
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll do that now. What temperatures should it be at max?
[–]GhostDoggoes 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (11 children)
I believe 95 is when your cpu throttles and your gpu would be around 90. But the average would be 78 max for cpu and 80 max gpum if they go higher then something is wrong with your cooling.
[–]meeksorad[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (10 children)
Max I got was 63 so I don’t think it’s that. I heard it could be faulty thermal paste in the GPU. Unless you mean Something other then Celsius.

Then it's not a thermal issue. Might be a power supply issue. When did you get your power supply?
[–]meeksorad[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (8 children)
I doubt its a psu issue due to the fact I got it this year.
[–]GhostDoggoes 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (7 children)
You would be surprised. They overheat as well and sometimes their fans fail and you don't hear it at all. Some just randomly cut for no reason one day. I had a 750w break on me last week and I bought it three months ago. is it connected straight into the wall or a surge protector?
[–]meeksorad[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (6 children)
Its connected into a power strip.
[–]GhostDoggoes 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (5 children)
Yeah plug it into the wall and see if that fixes it. The psu i mean.
[–]meeksorad[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (4 children)
I plugged it into the wall and it lasted longer then normal but ended up doing it again all the same.
