Hello
So these last couple of days I've been struggling to fix my CPU Overheating problem. The first time I noticed this problem was when I was watching a Twitch stream using Google Chrome, and I had a few other tabs opened (9gag, YouTube, Facebook) and all of a sudden I got BSOD, the dump process went up to 100% and then the whole PC just froze so I had to manually restart it. Upon booting I got a message saying "CPU Temperature too high, please enter setup". So I did and I saw that the temperature was around 85 degrees celsius. I turned off my PC and waited a while, turned it on and this time it booted normally and when I checked the temp using HWMonitor, it was sitting around 50-55 degrees idle with cpu usage at 5-10% which I think is weird (btw my room is cold since I only turn on the heating when it get's below 0 outside). The BSOD happened 3 more times of which twice when I was playing a game "Grey Goo" (I used an ingame cpu temp monitor and noticed that the temperature went from 60 to 85 degrees in 20 minutes of playing).
p.s. I had a svchost.exe virus located in Windows/Temp folder which according to VirusTotal was a BitCoin miner. It was starting with windows and using around 90% of my CPU, but now I have it quarantined with Malwerbytes Premium.
Things I've tried so far:
Cleaning the PC from dust
Replacing thermal paste
Changing the Minimum processor state to 5% (it was set to 100% by Razer Cortex Power Plan)
Using SpeedFan to run the CPU fan at 100% (3500-3600 RPM)
Scanning and cleaning the PC with Malwerbytes, ComboFix, RogueKiller, ADWCleaner, Avast Home Edition, Spybot Search & Destroy
Things I haven't tried:
Installing a fresh copy of windows
Hopefully things that you guys will advise me to do
Sorry for writing a new Harry Potter book, but I wanted to include as many details as I can.
Cheers
