About a month ago I built my own PC. Everything surprisingly went well until yesterday. My processor (2.80Ghz Pentium 4 775) was running a tad hot at about 60C in the BIOS but i thought nothing more of it as my computer was running fine. Then yesterday it started to cut out before the boot up had even completed. I tried a couple of times but it would not get past the boot stage. I looked on the PC health in BIOS and it was reading about 110 degrees celcius before it would finally cut out! I did buy a relatively cheap cooling fan i must admit (Thermaltake TR2-M20 SE)
But i should still not be getting that amount of heat especially as it was working before. And of course i have checked that it is spinning correctly and is in contact with the gel.
Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.
