Just an update from Yesterday . So apparently MSI afterburner was giving me a somewhat off reading..
I ran coretemp software and tested prime95. My core temps straight hit 100C at full load.Idle was about 37C. so im guessing this is bad. Monitor core temps during games was about 60C. I think the thermal paste like no more already. Gonna get some today and apply. And run the test again.
I guess the cpu fans are not working properly~? for the time being, use the computer in aircon room or have a fan blowing into your motherboard~ :s22:

Guys.i still couldn't find the problem causing it. Doesnt seem to be heat. So i today i disconnected my psu from everything. And used a multi meter to test the voltages.
Readings - (right side)
+12v = 12.6v
-12v = 10.6 - 10.8
3.3v = fluctuates from 3.4 - 3.9(mostly)
5v= 5.55v

Are these readings okay ? I know readings must be +-5%
Some might be a little off. Is this showing a faulty psu? There is no load. So im not too sure if its working fine.

But i think tomorrow i'll probably send in to rma. Not so good at these stufs

Yea my cpu temp is high. Its working with alot of dust.. Don't have thermal paste at the moment so haven't clean it yet

use a vaccum to clean the dust at least~ :s22:

or try made your own thermal paste, not sure does it works, saw on youtube~

if comp just suddenly off and on after using for a while (then go into loop off and on), then it should be faulty psu. new psu also can have this problem. i encountered this issue b4. see my thread.
