After it shuts off I can restart it so I'm hoping it's my power supply which I will replace in the morning. I think I can sleep better knowing it shouldn't be my CPU. The computer is 4 1/2 years old. Also 90C isn't really hot because Intel can run at 100 OK but AMD runs cooler.
90 is hot. I have a Phenom II, runs sub 30 degrees idle and never over 60 on load. Most sandy bridge chips are the same (Ivy is a bit hotter). |

I have an Intel E6550 dual 2.3 Gig at 4 1/2 years old. I put in a new 750 watt power supply. I tried different OS's and different monitors and after it tried to boot for about a minute it shut off. After that it would turn on for about 15 seconds and would not fire up the monitor. So I'm wondering if I need a new Video card or is the CPU just shot?. I have a GT 240 video card. |

ark.intel.com - I think it said that my CPU us support to run at 72C and shut down at 90C? So I guess I need to build another computer - I didn't see a way to edit my post? |

Pull it apart and put some more thermal paste on the CPU. That may fix the overheating. And clean out the case, if its full of dust |
