In SpeedFan it reads my core temps at 40-50 degrees at idle (i don&#8217;t know if these are normal temps). After 10 minutes or so it shuts down without warning. After re-booting it displays the message &#8220;previous shutdown due to thermal event&#8221; and in the bios logs it says cpu\/chipset overheated.<\/p>\n<p>So naturally I reapplied thermal paste to the cpu thinking that would have solved the problem but it still shuts down to thermal events. I felt the heatsink on the chipset and it was hot to the touch, so I zip tied a case fan to it and now it&#8217;s cool but it&#8217;s still shutting down! So I thought maybe the heatsink wasn&#8217;t cooling the cpu enough so I added 2 fans on either side of the heatsink but to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>But for some reason when I boot in safe mode, it can run for hours. So I tried a fresh install of Windows 10 but yet again, thermal event.<\/p>\n<p>I have a new cpu coming soon so I&#8217;ll try that and see if it&#8217;s the cpu but other than that I have no clue what else I could try, is there anything I might have done wrong or am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
