Hi everyone, for the last 2 weeks every time I do some hard core gaming, after 30 minutes to 1 hour my pc crashes. It just shuts off...boom. I've been taking temp readings, and at idle they are near perfect. But when I've been lucky enough to put a heavy gaming load on the CPU and exit the game as usual when I'm done, the temps are high/hot.
I'm wondering if my CPU is starting to die on me? All the fans are working in the case including the stock CPU fan, nonetheless I continue to crash. I wonder what's wrong and how I can fix it? New CPU, after market fan, ie Zalman...I don't know. I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks a million.
Here is a pic of temps after crash, when I let it cool down for 15 minutes:
