The Hero of Time Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) WTF man my motherboard is going up to 80 degrees and then shuts down the entire pc boom. im not running any kind of heavy things there is no dust at all on the motherboard... what the fuck is happening man help please Edited May 14, 2015 by The Hero of Time
Apaec Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 try de-salting it, sometimes it can get clogged up in salt. Simply boil a kettle of water (maybe 400ml water), and submerge the motherboard, cleaning it. This should do the job. To dry it just stick it in the microwave which will re-calibrate the device. Then plug it back in and it should be good as new! I recommend doing this quite frequently (maybe once a month) to avoid this situation happening again. Apaec 6
OurSickStory Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 box fan for the win stick both against the wall, take off both sides of the case. boom. ALSO. THERMAL PASTE LOTS AND LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL THERMAL PASTE ALL OVER THAT BABY.

Did you try turning it off and on again? fuck all of you
OurSickStory Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 im serious, look into thermal paste man, it'll save it i promise...
Fantabulous Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 fuck all of you Umad? Im srs the motherboard can start overheating when the PC is turned on for over a few hours, restart and see if its still the same
The Hero of Time Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 Umad? Im srs the motherboard can start overheating when the PC is turned on for over a few hours, restart and see if its still the same im having this problem for a few weeks already lol, boot up the pc, start some things and its at ~60-70 c already like wtf
The_Red_Flag Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Well I'll give you some actual advice. Contrary to popular belief, copious amounts of thermal paste decrease the performance of CPU's. Also, are you running any over clocks? Have you cleared the CMOS on your motherboard? Is there adequate air movement in your case? Have you researched online with that specific motherboard to see if it is a defect or something? Is it falsely reporting the temperature? Try some of these things
TwitchFast Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 The fact of the matter is, AMD motherboards have VERY hot chipsets, and for the life of me I have no idea why. I noticed it when I changed out my brother's Gigabyte AMD motherboard, and promptly burnt my finger on a bridge heatsink. I don't really think there's much you can do, it's likely a culmination of genuine heat and a faulty sensor causing it to believe it's overheating.

Try some of these things thanks for posting i am not overclocking, i have set my bios to "power saving" not image of my bios, but mines looks the same, as you can see you can even put it on overheat mode i opened the case so i can look directly in it now, i was thinking about laying my case down so the heat will go up but idk havent researched about my specific motherboard yet, ill do that thanks ;p
TwitchFast Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Also people should seriously stop recommending the thermal paste thing, it can void his warranty.
Fade Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Make sure the thermal paste on the cpu is only a pea sized drop. Less is more +get hwmoniter and show us what it says Edited May 14, 2015 by Fade
