[SOLVED] Possible overheating? you decide
I just built my new machine last night and came to find out that my computer will boot up fine but 5-20sec in my machine will randomly shut down. I thought at first it was my PSU so I tested that with my other machine... WORKS GREAT. Ok next step I take out two sticks of RAM and leave two sticks of 1gig each (I also played around with just having one stick, etc)... still shutting down. I take out my video card... still s h u t t i n g d o w n. So last is my CPU... I take that puppy out and everything stays online for like 5min... no reboots or random shutdowns. All my other peripherals in my new system are fine. So now I know its my CPU... so next step is to troubleshoot this. Is it shutting down randomly because damaged?? I DONT KNOW. It seems to work fine... it will boot up.. POST all that happy crap. I checked my BIOS and it seems like my CPUs temperature skyrockets from 85degrees to 110 in just 10-20sec...... is this normal??? I DO have a stock heatsink and fan on there, but I allways use the stock, never had problems with them... is this a overheating issue?? Compound seems to be fine... I checked other threads and it seems temperatures of up to 120 are sometimes normal??
If so... why is my machine shutting down at only 110 then?? HELP!
Here are my specs:
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35
