Sudden power down because of overtemp
Hi there,
I finally found (in my case) the cause of my cpu shutting down when running heavy apps. It seemed the cpu was overheating (around 70 degrees), and this caused the shutdown.
When removing the cooling fan, I found out that the shop that installed the cpu and cooler for me did NOT remove the barcode sticker from the cpu. This overlapped for about 0.5 mm with the cpu die, causing bad thermal conduction to the heat sink. I pulled it of, put some thermal grease, and now I´m running at a neat 35 degrees Celcius !!! (idle)
Maybe a hint for some people having the same trouble, check if the sticker does not touch your cpu die.
Ciao
