So I did a malware and virus search and I had some stuff in my pc that I just removed. And after 10 minutes again it happened again. So I reset my PC entirely from scratch. Installed a few games and stuff, and I decided to install Speccy which is just an application where u can see the heat of your GPU, CPU and other random information, and I noticed that I had like 90 celcius on my GPU which obviously isnt correct, I mean I would notice if it was that hot. And I see that its slowly going up to over\u00a0<b>100 celsius<\/b>, about\u00a0<b>110 celsius<\/b>\u00a0so I was like . I turned my PC off and cleaned it from dust and stuff, started it and its still the same thing, the black screen doesnt come up but I cant play games and I cant watch YouTube without it getting\u00a0<b>100+ celsius<\/b>\u00a0which again, obv isnt correct since I would feel if it was that hot.<\/p>\n<p>So all I wanna know is if its only my GPU that is f&#8212;ed or if its my PC overall that is broken? Because I ordered a new GPU a few days ago so I really dont care if this one breaks.<\/p>\n<p><b>GPU: GT 620 1GB<br \/>\nCPU: Intel Core i5 4440<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Also I had Windows 10 when this started happen, but when I reset the PC it installed Windows 8.1 again.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":9},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-7145","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/7145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=7145"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=7145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
