Yep, especially the processor...


Sounds like its either..

1. No/little thermal grease on the CPU.. If applied yourself make sure..

a) You did not put too much on
b) you did not put too less on

It should when applied just cover the middle chip and thinly enough to just cover it.

2. You have overclocked your machine and dont have adequate cooling fans/system.



When it shuts down again, switch off power from back on PSU (power supply unit) and gently touch the heat sink, boiling hot? then that is the problem.
