Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my computer turning itself off after playing a game for like 30 minutes. I'm fairly sure its because the CPU gets to 205F. I ran realtemp to log my cpu temperature and the hottest it gets is 205F but it doesnt shut down for like 10-15 minutes after it gets that hot. It usually shuts down around 195. It does this for all my games, but it never did this in the past. I used to play WOW for hours until recently, now my pc just randomly shuts off. Is it normal to get to 205F? I thought it was maybe a software problem, so I completely re-installed windows 8 from scratch and it is still shutting down. How can I get it to stop shutting down mid game?
All drivers are up to date.
