Core i5 2500K running hot, causing BSOD 124?
Hi guys,
I think my Core i5 2500K is running too hot and causing a BSOD in Handbrake when encoding large files. I've been leaving my PC on overnight to recode some MKVs for my Plex server, but every couple of nights it will turn itself off or reboot after what is apparently a BSOD error.
The main error report I see when logging back into Windows says:
Problem signature:

I started another file encoding on Handbrake and then ran HWMonitor to check the temps. The CPU is running at over 90C, which seems pretty bad to me. I turned off Handbrake and the temps immediately dropped to 50C. You can see what HWMonitor was showing under load here:
I have uploaded the full HWMonitor.txt report here.
I think I'm running at standard speeds, but to be honest I can't remember whether my Asus motherboard's "optimised O/C mode" is running and I didn't have time to check before I left for work this morning. I'm running a stock cooler in a well ventilated Coolermaster case that has, until now, provided decent cooling even under sustained heavy loads. I've not had chance to double check the CPU cooler but I'm usually very careful to make sure they're fitted properly.
The Windows crash report files are below but I don't know how to open the .dmp file without it turning into gibberish:
WER-62572-0.sysdata
051112-12698-01.dmp
Do you think the CPU is causing the BSOD error?
Any tips/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
