Hello, people.
I am fairly green when it comes to computer, and hopefully you who are more educated on the subject can lend me a helping hand.
It started out about a week ago. The computer shut down while I was playing WoW. I reached down and touched the casing, and it was scorching. I gave it time to cool down for about an hour and started it up again. Same thing happend. I opened her up and could barly touch the CPU and powersupply due to the heat. I once more let it cool down, and turned it on once more, to check if all the fans were working. I could spot no problems.
This has occured a few times a day since then. Both in games, and when just browsing.
Im not quite sure what information to leave, but ill write down what I think you need.
My computer:
OS: Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
Processor: AMD FX(tm) -4100 Quad-Core ~3.6GHz
RAM: 8192MB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series
I DLed CPUID HWMonitor to check the tempratures and while playing I had 65-88°C on my processor, and down in the low 20s while browsing.
Would really appriciate some help on this.
Thanks in advance.
Petter.
