      Hi,

      What piece of hardware was reaching 102 degrees when the PC turned off?

        Hi Evan,
        The CPU was going to 102
        I contacted amd and asked about it and they said not to use Speccy to find the temps. I downloaded amd master and saw that it’s was only going to a max of 65 degrees under 100% utilization. So speccy was giving the wrong info but I’m still having the problem where the pc crashes.

          Speccy has a very long running temperature bug with reporting way too high values.
          basically it can’t be trusted - as the 2nd monitoring software has highlighted.

          I would be removing the GPU and running the monitors off the onboard graphics card.
          yes you probably can’t play the games to test if the issue still occurs but try those other demanding programs and see if the problem repeats.
          this will highlight whether it’s the CPU or GPU.

            I don’t have onboard graphics on my cpu.

              Try updating your motherboards BIOS to the latest version and make sure you are not overclocking any components. Also set the power plan to high performance in the Control Panel as well.

                  Oh sorry, I forgot to update, I played around with my CPU power setting, I lowered it a bit and everything is working fine now. I don’t have the most updates MB BIOS but I feel like with my luck something will go wrong and fry my MB. I also bought some fans, which I didn’t have before, something was probably overheating, idk what. But everything is working fine now, I’m able to boot up and play Minecraft, COD Warzone and video edit fine. Thanks for all the help everyone.
