OP OP A Alex_san Solid State Member Messages 11 Jul 18, 2009 #11 but before the problem started, at max load the temp was 58-59, now the temp is back to that and when I was watch a video and the temp was 53 and it froze, so does this mean that there is another problem apart form just the cpu overheating. thanks

Reapply thermal paste, re-attach heatsink, plug in fan. If you don't have any thermal paste wait to do this until you do. Do not run the PC without Thermal Paste. Your local computer shop should have some. Or you can order some from here Newegg.com - Tuniq TX-2 Cooling Thermal Compound - Thermal Compound / Grease
